There isn't support for removing characteristics, but assuming you wanted to add another characteristic, like for example, a split between APP and CHA, or even DEX and Agility, you could easily do that. The real question would be how much you felt like integrating a change like that into the rules.

The default experience reward is 1D6 per experience check.

A GM wanting to slow down progression can do one of three things (off the top of my head):

1. Reduce the frequency of experience checks, such as only between significant breaks between adventures.

2. Lower the experience reward to 1D4, 1D3, 1D2, or even making it a single point.

3. Only allow an experience check for a critical or special success.

If I remember correctly, these are discussed as options.
