 ===== Ability Scores =====
-Standard ability score boosts for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. When selecting Ability Boosts from your Ancestry, you may elect to take on two additional flaws (which can be to the same ability score) to gain one additional boost. You cannot increase a score above 18 this way.
+Standard ability score boosts for Pathfinder 2nd Edition.
+Dwarves normally receive boosts to Constitution and Wisdom, one boost to any other score, and a flaw to Charisma. You could use the floating boost to buff Charisma, negating the penalty.
-This would allow you to start with an 18 even in Charisma (which dwarves normally take a penalty to), making it so that any class is perfectly suitable for a PC dwarf.
+Instead of this system, you may use the Alternate Ancestry Boosts rule, replacing all of your Ancestry boosts and flaws with two free boosts. This would let you increase any two ability scores at this stage. You may still choose Ability Flaws if you like, but this is strictly voluntary and does not otherwise benefit your character.
+The Alternate build works very well with any character who needs Charisma, or doesn't need either Constitution or Wisdom (though they are both important ability scores; Con gives you HP and Fort saves, and Wis gives you Initiative and Will saves).

 Any standard Dwarf heritage from the books is allowed, but no Versatile heritages.
 Ruinbound Dwarf is another option, described in House Rules. Ruinbound dwarves start with greater access to aberrant symbionts, which can grant strange powers and sometimes have strange drawbacks.
