[QUOTE="Zigmutt, post: 402073, member: 1629"] As stated by Chun-Tzu (whop seems to be all over these boards lately) the Pt- Buy would work only for ECL 1 and 2- those simple races that do not get scaling bonuses. Races like Fiends and such that get scaling benefits have to be docked later- in order to balance them out with the standard races. Like a minotaur- they get the Str and con bonus at the beginning- and nothing afterwards- no matter what class level you are. So a -4 on your Pt Buy would balance him out. But a half fiend template gets a all that cool stuff at the beginning (resistance, smite, wings) and then you get a racial ability every three levels or so. If you get these bonuses in addition to your standard class bonuses- then the initial pt buy does not compensate. I would allow these super/ extra abilities if you are willing to give up something- like your skill pts at that level, or the stat boost or what not- but a sorc (who only really needs 2 good scores) and takes this template and have a dump stat will be so powerful because of the scaling abilities.
