Very similar to the system I was planning to use for my next campaign. I don't use point buy because I frickin' hate it, but the expansion slots was something I was considering.My plan was to allow the PCs to play anything in the three core rulebooks they wished and at each level be allowed to choose one of the following from a non-core sourcebook (WotC only): spell, feat, or item. When a character gains access to a spell, that spell is added to the character's class spell list. When a character gains access to a feat, the character may learn that feat normally. When a character gains access to an item, the character may purchase or craft that item normally. At 1st level they have the option of trading their expansion slot for a non-core race. If it is a race with a LA higher than +0 or racial HD, they have to use a Savage Species style progression. Or they may choose to trade their expansion slot for access to a non-core class instead. Or they may even choose to trade their 1st level slot for the chance to roll 5d6 and take the highest 3 (as opposed to the usual 4d6). At 5th level, and every 5 levels thereafter, the character may trade his expansion slot for access to a non-core class or prestige class (though the character must still fulfill all other requirements to take the class).However, I think the idea you have will work very well and be fairly balanced.</blockquote>
