[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 507058, member: 1372"] Well... I'll give comments to all point buy power levels that I played. 15 points: This is very interesting and challenging for the players to use their heads more than their swords or abilities. Though it got better later since you could increase one attribute by one point each level. 20 points: Combined with a similar attribute increase as above (players started as kids and got more points when they grew older), it's still playable as long as the monsters have their average racial stats. 25 or 28 points: Game was balanced here. Humans suck a little bit in comparison with other races, you have to value one feat against one possibly higher stat. 32 points: Humans start to shine more since they can afford some good stats or many not bad ones but the balance does not break yet. 40 points: Only reason not to play humans: You want a spellcasting race with Int/Cha/Wis 20 for the extra bonus spells. Balance is strongly shifted towards classes that "need" at least two 18s. 60 points: Well. Everyone who plays a single or double stat monster like a fighter or perhaps druid is screwed. Monks, Paladins, Cleric, Psions shine. [/QUOTE]
