Reading some of the stat-related threads, it seems that the stat-choice option is given more merit than the regular statting option currently, since a good set of stats appears (from what I've seen) to be hard to get. I'd like to tentatively suggest the following:
Once a person has reached level 5 using the undisclosed stats method, they get an option similar to the one available at character creation that allows them to alter the distribution of their stat-sum. The same minimums and class-specific costs would apply, and players would be able to play around with what they've statted to try and get something more appealing.
Good/bad train of thought?
