There is absolutely no reason not to include it in the game.
Indeed ...
And yet that is what Swen allegedly said.
If I understood well you don't "have" the +2 / +1 abilities points.
You have the regumar class abilities bonuses BUT you can remove them entirely to choose to add a +2/+1.
That would be more than acceptable.
Question tho: When you say "understood" ... what do you mean?
You were on PFH, or do you reffer to someone else providing informations from there?
