Obviously this quandary doesn't apply to some stats. Getting a strength of 24 isn't difficult. You just take on a Half-Ogre, a Background which increases his strength, and by george you'll probably get a Strength of 21 in very short order.
There's some stats that just aren't catered to by racial modifiers, though, and as I understand it those modifiers can be pretty crucial. Intelligence is my primary concern, but Perception is likewise a curious little monster to raise. (And the bonus for that one's theoretically pretty awesome, if terribly niche.)
Intelligence. My next character is to be a technologist, thus requiring an Intelligence of 19. While there are means to temporarily increase one's Intelligence, if I sought to increase his Intelligence beyond 20 it should be only one point and one bonus out of my way. Where, though, to find this extra point? What does work, and what doesn't?
Perception. While this isn't too crucial to any character build I have in mind, nor did my last character have any particular difficulties with invisible attackers, nevertheless I feel a little miffed that I cannot determine how to raise it past 20.
So what does and doesn't work for this?
