You could try to figure out a ratio to turn GP values per level into XP, and merge them with the XP values laid down in CC, but that'd throw off what's listed in CC already.Basically, I was sort of hoping there was some way to not only create point-buy values for (a functional equivalent to) magic items (and racial abilities), but also to merge it with CC's point-buy system for class abilities. That'd make the entire thing completely open in what sort of character you can make.That sounds like it might be the best way to go about it, though there are obviously still some specifics to work out, like how that interacts with actual magic items if they're left in the game. It's the necessity of gear - specifically magic items - that bothers me. As it stands now, you can make any kind of character with CC, but they're still going to need X amount of magic items, or they're not going to be able to function optimally. If they had some kind of "item influence/ability points" that probably would solve most of the problem I had, simply because magic items wouldn't be so necessary just to function anymore.</blockquote>
