Be a Hero, Be a Power Gamer

Had the following idea for the upcoming games:
Donate a pint of blood, get a free stat point (maybe two for the D&D players).

Refining the idea further:
If you can't give blood, volunteer ~5 hours to a good cause, get a stat point.

I'm a little leery of going even further and letting it become a cash donation to a worthy charity, but that might be possible if there's a time limit (say, every 56 days so it's fair to the blood donors) on repeats. I personally think it's more satisfying to buy stuff and give it to the appropriate group (50 lbs dry dog food for an animal shelter, $50 worth of groceries for a food bank), but whatever.

Whaddya think?

Yeah, I agree about picking a pet cause or something, having some kind of alternative. I usually can't donate blood because I get sick a lot, and always end up failing one of the "not having had illness X in the last N days" criteria.

The 5 hours of volunteer time is sensible. I give an hour a week, which works out to about the same frequency one could theoretically donate blood . . .
