[QUOTE="Dragonblade275, post: 2790846, member: 32045"] I'm thinking of using a variant I thought of a couple of days ago in our next campaign for character creation. My players usually like to play characters with extremely high scores. Basically, what I want to do is encourage players to play characters with lower ability scores than they are used to. The way that I intend to do this is to allow them to build their new characters using the point buy method. The twist is that I want to give them a choice of getting more points to buy their ability scores at the expense of having a level adjustment (so that characters with lower level adjustmments would get more XP per encounter and characters with higher ability scores would have an effective XP penalty). The question is how many points added to the point buy are worth a level adjustment? The way I figure it, right now, a 25 point buy would have no level adjustment. What I'm trying to determine is how many more points would be worth a +1 level adjustement, a +2 level adjustment, or a +3 level adjustment. Here's what I was considering: 25 pts = +0 Level Adjustment 32 pts = +1 Level Adjustment 41 pts = +2 Level Adjustment 52 pts = +3 Level Adjustment 65 pts = +4 Level Adjustment 80 pts = +5 Level Adjustment Does this sound reasonable? Would these level adjustments be fair for these point buy values? [/QUOTE]
