Background: In my campaigns, players usually create PCs by the point buy system.
Now, what if my players want to create robot heroes not using the standard array D20 Future presents?
So if I run a campaign, where for example the players get to create PCs from 32 points, what happens to a robot PC? Since I want my players to create any kind of PCs they like, if I follow normal rules, noone would be able to create an effective robot Charismatic Hero. (I'm talking bioreplica androids). That's why I think a robot PC could be generated the same way as a normal PC. But if I allow a player to create a PC with 5 stats from 32 (or 30, or etc) points, that PC would be stronger than the others.
Now my real question is: How much stronger is a PC that only has 5 stats, and can buy stats from the same number of points, as every other PC? ECL+1? ECL+2?
