Rather like the current point buy system.Right... I changed that from 28 to 25 and missed changing that point... poor editing, I admit I'm guilty of it!My definition of a hero is one with a strong primary stat... IE with at least one score above 14, and preferably one 18... So THAT depends on what you call "heavily unbalanced". I'm saying that having a different total modifier score for someone with an 18 is horribly unbalanced. Or to put it, I think that the non-linear point buy creates heavily unbalanced characters by it's very non-linear nature. Really? Do your mages actually do this? I've seen people settle for a 17, but not a 16... It's just not done in my circles. And the guy who settled for a 17 was me, and I felt that it was a huge sacrific that I made to better balance the character...With a non-linear point buy system you aren't making as big a sacrifice to get that 18, which is my point and yours, I believe. You seem to be saying (to me) that this non-heroic (by my defintion) character is good. All I'm saying is that I disagree, I think that if one character has a total mofier score of +6, then all should get that. Even the guy with an 18. I admit it, THAT's what I consider a hero, someone at the maximum potential. A person with a group of 14's can be a hero too... but he can't be every type of hero. Someone who can distribute whatever points are given equally can.</blockquote>
