Why not have an in-between like some stats go higher then some stats lower. The game can even say things like Krong was being nice today and decided to bless you but he felt you weren't in need so he also lowered your stats as well.
It's more a suggestion of a quote, but in all honesty LZ, I'm not really sure it's that great an idea. You gamble enough with Krong as it is, and rebalancing just seems a bit much, I fear.
