Synergy
12
Some features don't work effectively together. When two features won't be beneficial to the same build, deduct half the score from the cheaper feature. The Mountain Dwarf is a good example. Builds that want +2 STR already have armor proficiencies. Builds that want armor training won't get much out of more STR.
