After playing for a couple of years, I'm getting my first chance to DM. I want to allow my players to use non-core material (if they want) without things getting too out of hand. Also, I want to encourage interesting PC concepts that would be viable with a bit of help. So I've come up with a buy-in point system and I'm wondering what others think about it.
Each player gets 10 points at 1st level, 1 point per subsequent level. Points can be used as follows, subject to DM approval:
* Extra feat: 5 pts
* Skills ranks calculated as if +1 to Int modifier, purchased at 1st level: 5 pts
* +1 to one ability score: 5 pts
* Non-core race (LA=0), class, or feat: 4 pts
* Skill ranks calculated as if +1 to Int modifier, purchased after 1st level: 3 pts
* Non-core spell or magic item: 2 pts
* Non-core mundane armor, weapon, or item: 1 pt
Thoughts or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
