When starting a new game, chose to be an elf. Be natural or evil. 
When you get to the screen where you get your points to raise your stats 
(for example, 10 > 7), select "Cancel". Continue to do this until you get 
13 or more points. It is possible 
to get as high as 31 points and should work every time you start a new game. 
For some reason, it cannot be done with characters of other races. 
Note: It is recommended that you choose to be a natural elf instead of evil - 
if you mistakenly attack a friendly group of monsters, you will not turn evil 
or good, depending on what you started with.
