[QUOTE="Drawmack, post: 585986, member: 4981"] Bad Idea, people can't metagame with information they don't have. I like counting racial adjustments as part of the point total, really helps cut down on munchkinism. However, 80 points means an average stat at 6/80 = 13 2/3 points (or 2 @ 13 and 4 @ 14). On the standard point buy system this would cost 5*2 + 6*4 = 34 points. 78 point buy on point for point is the 32 point buy system recommended for high powered characters in the DMG. The other downside of a point for point system is it encourages min/maxing. You are speeding up the leveling process even more and making CHA the most important metagame stat. I do not think that adding a metagame bonus to a stat is a good idea. This mixed with a point for point system and I'd be surprised to see anything below an 18 in CHA except for those racially limited. This is a good idea, but I wouldn't demand the second character be completely fleshed out cause then they'll have to keep him up to level in case they die and you'll be looking at twice the approval work everytime someone levels. This might work better as a percentage of the current ranks. I like the idea but shouldn't it be d6 can use d4+1, d4 no change. because d4 + 1 for a d6 is equivocal to d6+1 for a d8. Additionally will you let them baseline? By 10th level which will probably happen in about 2 months with the exp changes you've made people will be able to know how to defeat nearly anything right away. excellent I don't like them counting as ranks. I mean is someone want's to burn a feat to have a skill a 2 ranks above max what's the problem, they could easily take a weapon prof to avoid a -4, esentially giving them a +4 to their attack bonus with that weapon. Making these ranks makes this feat, that is really the only real good rogue feat, almost useless.
