[QUOTE="LCHARLEQUIN, post: 4255744, member: 67593"] Has point buy become the standard method of determining Ability Stats? If so what are the recomended point buys for different levels of play? Those famliliar with RPGA Living Campaigns have made characters with the point buy being: Start at 8 for all stats from 9-14 1 buy point per stat point 15 and 16 are 2 buy points per stat point 17 and 18 are 3 buy points per stat point. Racial adjustments are added after the buy. The D&D Campaigns ( Green regent, Eberron, and Xendrix )are a 25 point buy. Living Greyhawk is a 28 point buy. The venerable Living City as well as Living Arcanis and Dave Arnesons Blackmoor use a 32 point buy. Legend of the Shining Jewel has a 34 point buy. Do you still roll for abilities? Do you assign points to your abilities and, if so, what is the recomended point levels and formula? Thanks, Charles [/QUOTE]
