if there was like an event where you lose 100 prestige, but get a +1 stat boost will you take it?
I would :) But the highest I would go is 150 prestige.
And piety.... man I would give any amount of piety for some stat boosts:rolleyes:
 
Prestige practically grows on trees ... er, I mean rebellious vassals, after the start of the game. Especially if you conquer some neighbouring kingdom, but end up with the former king and his descendants as vassals. Then once they rebel, you get the kingdom claim counting for the warscore = thousands, if not tens of thousands, of warscore. I'd go up to 500 prestige at least, if the event somehow justified it or triggered off the characters existing traits etc.

Piety, I would not give up. I like having characters canonised, it's a requirement for the emperor trait, and excommunication (at low, or god forbid, 0/negative piety) is a pain.

The only event that I can think of right now simular to your proposal is one when you can hire wandering Knight to teach your kid some trade and that way your kid have a chance to get +1 (or +2) some of stat boost for the prize of money (more gold you are ready too give up, more chance and higher boost).

As for question, I wouldn't give much, if any at all, for this, if I have to give up prestige and especially piety (it is way too valuable) for +1 stat. I would only consider the option if that stat is for intrigue and my character need some to easier rule more land.

Yes. Also you can not conclude any peace deal if you fight infidels and your piety is less than 25 iirc.
 
It would debend upon the stat and how much my character needs improvement in that area. If he has say horrible intrigue, and can't hold his demesne together, then I would pay almost any number of prestige or piety to get even a +1 improvement.
 
It would depend on my tier. I've spent games as a vassal count or duke where I've spent my entire reign stuggling to get 250 prestige. I've had other games where my king has close to 20,000 prestige. In the second case I'd be willing to pay a lot more.
