[QUOTE="Al the Absentminded, post: 3037934, member: 42452"] Here's one way to mitigate mental buff abuse: The first - I dunno, either 5 or 10, let's go with 10 - the first 10 points of buffing cost the standard amount. So, buffing int by 10 would be 14 + 12, or 26. The next ten points of buffing cost double. So, buffing int by 20 would be 14 (the first 4) + 12 (the next 6) + 40 (the final 10) or 66. The next set of ten points cost triple, so a +30 int buff would be 126. And so on. It'd probably be a good idea to limit mental buffs to Inherent and one or two other types. Another possibility is to say that buff points are treated like point-buy Ability Score generation. To go from 17 to 18 costs three points of buffing, so maybe something like: 19: 3 points 20: 3 points 21: 3 points 22: 4 points 23: 4 points 24: 4 points 25: 4 points 26: 5 points 27: 5 points 28: 5 points 29: 5 points 30: 6 points -Albert [/QUOTE]
