[QUOTE="dco, post: 7440662"] I did it not long ago with hero system, but it's easier to maintain balance because more points to some things mean less for others, caps for stats are usual and you can use complications. For D&D 5e I would give the old bonuses and penalties you cited of the old game but change CHA to -4, more damage for larger weapons, d10 HPs per level, Speed 40 feet and not using feats is always the best option in my book. I would also give the half-giants different maximums for their stats: 22 for STR, 18 for INT, 18 for WIS, 16 for CHA 2 more STR than medium races, lower Int and Wis and specially CHA because their personality was not strong, they tried to fit socially and follow what others did.
