For a while now, I've been considering whether I wanted to add automatic ability score increases to MyD20 Lite in a manner similar to 3E or Fantasy Concepts. It's not "Old School" rules, but I like having that as an option. On the other hand, it is an added complication.
Then an idea hit me: why not leave it up to the player as another choice they can make? I could create new talents that allow players the opportunity to increase a specific ability score instead of gaining another special ability. I don't know how well it would fly, but I figure that I should at least ask about it here and seek the input of my readers. My initial thought was to limit these talents to any class with a prime attribute in that ability score or race with a minimum required score in that particular ability score. As an exception, I can see allowing humans access to all of the improvement talents, because of their adaptability. I can also see opening Charisma improvement up to all races and classes, simply because it isn't a prime attribute for any of the core classes and it doesn't serve as a minimum requirement for any of the core races.
With that in mind, please feel free to read the six new talent write-ups below, and let me know your thoughts on the matter.
Improved Strength: The character gains a +1 to Strength. This talent allows characters to obtain ability scores over 18, but characters are still restricted by any maximums due to race. This talent can be selected multiple times. Prerequisite: 4th level; Warrior, Human or Orc.

These talents look dfine to me. They'd be easy enough for a referee to leave off anyway. In comparison to what some of the other talents offer, I think that most players would only take them if the attribute increase would given them an immediate modifier bonus.
It's great to see that MyD20 Lite is still firmly on your radar too.
