Those changes are still possible but rather than modelling them by
increasing basic attributes, they are modelled with "core" skill
increases. So, to use your personal example above (if you don't mind :),
you increased your Athletics and Charm skills, but your basic physical
and social attributes remain the same. See my reply to Sam for more
details.

Kind regards...
