[QUOTE="Michael Silverbane, post: 2793064, member: 38016"] Welcome to the boards, Dragonblade. I think you've got a pretty good idea, there (and one I may be gaffling for my own upcoming campaign). Like others, I'd be wary of allowing the players to slap too many LA's onto their characters, and would probably limit it to +2 LA to be taken in this manner. I have some questions, also. Are you going to allow the characters to have +LA races, as well? And, if so... What ECL are you thinking of starting the campaign at? Also, it seems that you are talking about having the characters' ECLs start off being unequal (for instance, if one guy opts to use the 25 pt. buy, he'll be starting at level one and if another goes with the 32 pt. buy, he'll be level 2). Is that right? I'm not sure that I like the idea of charcaters starting off at different levels, though I don't suppose that it's considerably different than having characters end up being different levels due to character death, experience point expenditure, or other circumstances. Lower level characters will eventually catch up, after all. As far as you numbers go... I'd probably go 25 points for +0, 34 points for +1 and 42 points for +2. As I mentioned earlier, I don't think going more than +2 LA is a very good idea, although problems with LA can be mitigated by simply starting the characters off at a slightly higher level (so that they have some hit dice to go along with those levels).
