As you size up the wizard, his frail frame barely able to lift his sword, he swings awkwardly, catching you off guard with a deceptively strong blow you previously thought impossible from a man of his build.

You have spent your whole life trying to mask an inherent weakness. Through countless hours of training you have managed to eliminate this weakness altogether and perhaps even turn it into a strength. You may substitute one aspect of an ability score for which you possess a negative modifier (i.e. a score of 9 or below) and instead substitute a +1 modifier to one aspect which that stat governs. This may be to attack rolls, damage rolls, a saving throw, or two skills. If the character chooses hit points or armor class, they instead lessen the penalty by one.

Author's Note: This trait is designed to lessen the penalty a low roll imposes. It is inspired by an AD&D 1st Edition idea that it is not unreasonalbe for characters possessing a low stat to be competent in an aspect that stat governs.
