point buy for feats, abilities, etc

[Graybeard]

A few years a go I remember hearing about a system where all the players were given a set number of points to use to spend on abilites, feats, etc. I can't recall the name of the system or where I saw it. Can anyone remember the system?

Buy the numbers?

Haldrik had some threads on Wizards of the Coasts boards pricing feats and so forth, which were very good. Unfortunately, the link I had to those threads is not working, though a bit of info is in Google's cache. I've also seen some homebrew systems. I don't know of any published systems with pricing for all aspects of character creation.

I like 'Buy the Numbers'. You pay for class features, etc with experience points. It's not quite the same as a point buy used in character creation.

If you really want a straight point buy everything, check out GURPS.

Thanks,

Thanks, I will check out By the Numbers. It might be what I'm looking for.

Sounds like the Hero system to me.
