I do this with my players when they generate them for the first time. I have a long list of advantages and disadvantages. They each have a point cost, and I allow them to buy and abilities/advantages in lieu of drawbacks. One player was able to buy a +2 Battle Axe for free due to a curse which made him go blind if the axe was more than 10ft away from him. Another player bought Lightening Relflexes (+2 initiative) for a Major Fear of Wolves. He then gave his character a big scar on his face (from a wolf) and tied it into his background. Finally one player bought the devotion of a wealthy widow in Neverwinter (who has lots of resources) in lieu of a 'Guilt' drawback which meant that once he described his guilt episode to me, if a scene was similar to his guilt flashbacks, he become inconsolable and useless unless he pass a Charisma check.  Happy to share.. but the rule may be broken a bit....</blockquote>
