[QUOTE="Burr, post: 4229499, member: 41103"] Here are some point-buys that might work. I focused on possibilities that mostly accelerate in cost. I assumed it would be 25 points, except for exactly 2 DDXP characters with extra points each. (In all cases, the Dwarf Fighter was one of them, with 3 extra points.) I assumed that the costs would be cumulative. I assumed that the KotS array can be generated through the point-buy system. Finally, I assumed these racial bonuses for the DDXP characters: Dwarf Fighter: +2 Con, +2 Wis Halfing Paladin: +2 Dex, +2 Cha Human Cleric: +2 Wis (from floating bonus) Eladrin Ranger with +2 Dex, +2 Int Tiefling Wizard with +2 Int, +2 Cha Half-Elf Warlock with +2 Cha, +2 Con (I saved the Excel file, so if any of the above is wrong, tell me and I can go back and try again.) [code] 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +3 +4 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +3 +5 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +3 +6 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +4 +6 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +6 +6 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +4 +7 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +5 +7 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +6 +7 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +4 +8 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +5 +8 0 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +2 +2 +5 +6 +8 [/code] Considering all the assumptions I had to make, and the large number of results nonetheless, I gotta conclude it's still too early to guess how the point-buy will be structured.
