Chun-tzu: That might not be a bad idea, to inflict some other, non-point related penalty...my only concern is in making the system too cumbersome, which is really something I'd rather avoid. Also, part of the point of going with point cost instead of ECL is to allow fine tuning, since all ECL+1...

Morrus: Thanks for the tips on material that's already tread this ground (or at least something similar...). I'll definitely check out the Asgard stuff. Chun-tzu: Like you say, having multiple point tables would be less "elegant", and is really something I'd rather avoid...making more races...
