[QUOTE="anonystu, post: 789355, member: 10897"] It's game design wonkery, watch out! I'm not interested in playing, but just want to opin, that if you're going to use a low/gritty point buy like 15, which is fine, of course, that you consider altering the point buy a slight bit: if the average stat in your game is roughly 10-11, you probably want to have a lower cap than 8, allow players to be a bit more flawed then usual. So, probably, something like: 27 point buy, where attributes default to 6. Or, in point/abil terms: 6: 0 7: 1 8: 2 9: 3 10: 4 11: 5 12: 6 13: 7 14: 8 15: 10 16: 12 17: 15 18: 18 This allows people to specialize a bit more than in a straight 15 point buy, but they pay a lot more for it. It's still the same effective bonus (heroes have a +1 overall, unless they specialize). It also allows people to be more flawed than in your usual sort of d20 game, which I think, seems like the right feel. Sorry for interrupting, just stopping by... [/QUOTE]
