Point buy with nonabilities?

So you're saying -- is roughly equal to a 14?

I think I'd go along with it costing the 2 points to make it a 10 that seems to be general consensus so far...

For an undead creature, that 1d12 hit die IS just about equal to a 14 con and a 1d8 hit die.

Average of 1d12 is 6.5
average of 1d8 is 4.5 + 2 from a 14 con = 6.5

Considering in 3.5 a large construct gets a 30 HP bonus so it sounds semi fair to charge a few points for the so called non ability.

...but in some cases a lack of a score is better than a 10 - if nothing else, it can't be poisoned or otherwise drained to a penalty.

True, but that's supposed to be taken care of by the level adjustment.
