One thing that always bothers me about point buy is it is just a used in character creation, and then it is forgotten. What if instead of gaining +1 attrbutes every fourth level you got points for point buy? What if instead of getting +2/-2 for race attributes you got bonus minuses to the point buy?
So, I purpose the following, instead of gaining +1 to an attbute every fourth level instead people gain 3 ponts to increase attributes using the point buy system. It would allow lower attributes to be increased faster but hamper higher attributes. Players can also save the points for higher level. Each time an attribute gain happens the player gets one more point so 4 points at 8, 5 at 12, 6 at 16, and 7 at 20.
Races would get +4 point buy, -4 point buy. This would allow for higher average scores but stop the races from starting with extremely high scores ie a 20. The negative 4 point buy would be prettyy bad as if no points were placed in it it would be a 4, but I like that lower stats would then be able to be gotten using point buy.
