Basically to allow you to have the chance of building the stars of the game we know and love.
The choice would be more strength, or any skill or trait int he list, or lose a negative trait (bonehead, really stupid, always hungrey, wild animal, take root, big guy etc)

I'm sorry but most people know the stars of the game but do not love them at all.
To allow Big Guys lose their negatraits would make them even more unbalanced. Most people want the negatraits becoming even more negative. That's the way to go...

If you allow big guys to lose their negatraits then you allow them to be waaay overpowered. If this happened you would just see more and more topics on getting rid of Big Guys completely.

Think of the Vampire team that is likely to be official...it could get nuts even if dbl 6s are rare.

What about a random skill? besides the ST increase....
basically you would roll on a D100 table:
each skill (there are 27)would have 3 numbers
each trait (there are 7) would have 2
This gives 95 - the other 5 numbers would allow you to roll on the mutations table (D12), if the player has acess!...
If you already have the skill (or mutation), or get a mutation without having acess you can re-roll.. but only 2 times - so it will help more weaker players....
(I have thought of this on the thread about random skills/mutations... here:

Not keen on that either. One of the best things GW have done is tone down the BG's and restrict them to one per team, except DE's and a few others ofcourse, and allow 2 BC's for CD's ofcourse. But not wanting to start up any fresh debate on these 2 yet, I think BG's should be left just as they are, and if anything make Ogres more of a nuisance, they are by far the best BG's and only a few teams have access to them.
