Simple or Complex, Part 2

After talking it over with my testers, I think I'm going to leave it as it is. I thought it might come down to this, and our conversation proved my instincts correct: most gamers would rather have a larger score because it sounds better. Consider it this way: a Stat rating of 40 confers a +8 bonus. Unanimously, my testers thought that a rating of 40 sounded better than a rating of 8, even though they are functionally identical.

I guess (in this case at least) bigger is better.
