<blockquote data-quote="canucksaram" data-source="post: 6545564" data-attributes="member: 6778026">Revised version, after some playtesting:For each level your character has, you may allot 1 Customization Point.
 
Customization Points may be spent to buy certain bonuses for your character, subject to GM approval:
 
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 
[*=1]add +1 to a specific implementation of a skill (i.e., “skill&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; specialization”) 
[*=1]add +1 to hit with a specific weapon or spell 
[*=1]add +1 damage with a specific weapon or spell 
[*=1]add +1 to the DC of a specific maneuver or spell 
[*=1]maximum bonus is equal to half your proficiency bonus&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (minimum 1) 
[*=1]cost is 1:1 for skill specialties (e.g., a +1 to Arcana:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Elemental Lore would cost 1 Customization Point; a +2 to Perception:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Secret Doors would cost 2 Customization Points). 
[*=1]cost is exponential for (a) to hit bonus, (b) damage bonus,&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (c) spell or maneuver DC increase (e.g., a +1 to hit with longswords&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; costs 1 Customization Point; a +2 or +3 bonus to hit would cost a&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; total of 4 points and 9 Customization Points, respectively). </li>
</ul>



Original version:

For each level your character has, you may allot 1 Specialization Point.
 
 A Specialization Point may be spent like so (these are just a few examples; confer with your GM to suss things out completely):
 <ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 
[*=2]add +1 to a specific implementation of a skill (i.e., “skill&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; specialization”) 
[*=2]add +1 to hit with a specific weapon or spell 
[*=2]add +1 damage with a specific weapon or spell 
[*=2]add +1 to the DC of a specific maneuver or spell 
[*=2]add +1 to a specific implementation of a skill, hit bonus,&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; damage bonus, DC, maneuver, or other ability, as subject to GM&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; approval </li>
</ul>

 Note: a +1 bonus costs 1 Specialization Point; to increase that same +1 bonus to a +2 bonus costs a further 4 specialization points (5 total); to bump a +2 bonus to a +3 bonus costs an additional 9 specialization points (14 total). It is most effective to spread out your specialization points among a wide variety of skills.</blockquote>
