[QUOTE="Gorrstagg, post: 4214806, member: 15863"] Lurker, I did add them up the old way. Remember, I dropped the highest scores in each character by 2. In order to get these numbers. Dragon born, 16,14,13,12,11,10 (30 Points). Dwarf 14,14,14,13,11,10 (28 Points). Half-elf 14,14,14,13,11,10 (28 Points). Halfling 16,14,13,12,11,10 (30 Points). Human 16,13,12,12,11,10 (28 Points.) So the 2 are 30 point buys, 3 are 28 point buys. I believe it was mentioned somewhere, though I don't remember the source, but it was stated that we would be using the 28 point buy method. If so, the Dragonborn and Halfling are off. If you go with the 1-1 method (at least up to 16, not sure about 17 or 18 yet.) You get.. 8=0 9=1 10=2 11=3 12=4 13=5 14=6 15=7 16=8 17=? 18=? But, in that case then the Dragonborn & the Halfling drop down to 28 point buys each. And everything seems okay. BUT, if you did the same to the human wizard, using that same 1 for 1 his 28 points drops to 26. Meaning the wizard, no matter how you slice is getting the shaft. UNLESS!! Humans only get a single +2 to any stat. And then it takes on the 16,14,13,12,11,10 build, for 28 points. Which would then indicate it's a 1 for 1 buy ... at least up to 16=8 points. And then, if you did that.. that method 1 for 1 would make him a 28 point buy character. And it would tell us a bit more. I.e. buy method, at least up to 16's, and that humans only get a single +2 to apply to any stat. Mind you this is complete conjecture, and not proven. But it does seem to extrapolate out that way.
