I’d love the world to be more biased in favour of my own highest stat
You can re-allocate some of that to Charisma if you work really hard (stand-up comedy is a learned skill) and if you have a British or Australian accent you get +1 just by coming to North America and talking. Provided you haven’t already maxed it, Strength is highly trainable, as are Dexterity and Constitution. Even HP, up till about 30 when bone density stops accumulating. Wisdom is extremely trainable, and there’s some evidence the world’s biased that direction, so I’d throw points there when in doubt.

In fact, even those who have reached their maximum strength potential can increase it by using the highly potent Potion of Potential Strength.

HPs are primarily determined by Constitution (somewhat trainable) but in many worlds (including the real one) there is also a bonus from Strength stat. Better developed muscles are useful for absorbing damage non-critically.
Perhaps the most important stat is actually Willpower, which is also somewhat trainable and can be buffed with items and hired allies.

Well spotted on the ‘favour’ usage! Yes, I’ve noticed a bonus there (my current girlfriend is North American), presumably the accent helped.
