[QUOTE="Verequus, post: 1527494, member: 9135"] Hi Kavon! Finally I could post this - sometimes work can kill me, even if it is roleplaying related (campaign stuff, EoM now out, my internship, etc., etc. oops, internship is wrong here ;) ) Okay... Where was I? Ah yes. I will simply send you the d20 Modern-point-buy PDF, because you missed my question, if you wanted it - it isn't on the web anymore, so you have to get it from me. Saying "your point-system" is getting old - how about a new name? KAR for Kavon's Advancement Rules - better, isn't it? Another use for KAR: Savage Species can be simply mimicked - or even a race, which can develop physical abilities freely! Yes, I meant it like U_K. The 1/5th could be Flavor Points, but the first problem is that ALL of them are for the wealth issue. The second problem is, that all points, be it FPs or CPs, count toward CR - if you distribute FPs in addition to CPs, then the rule "1 level = 1 CR" is broken - if their sum remains 200, then how do you justify the different amounts of FPs and CPs every level? That gaining Soul Essence has a dependency to some unknown force? The best is still to handle wealth "behind the screen", as a simple side effect of advancement. Otherwise the more abstract rules d20 Modern could be used. But the disadvantage of those wealth rules is their advantage - you can't simple want to spend some GPs and know immediately if you loose a part of your wealth bonus unless the DC is already prepared or you know the conversion instantly. As a sidenote, using flavor points for the appearance isn't striking, because it is normally a use for the Charisma ability - you are meddling with things, which aren't to meddle with. Regardless, how you solve this issue, you have to take the wealth factor into account for calculating the CRs - but please allow other DMs simply to use KAR in my way. This can be only accomplished if you restrict the free CPs to 160 or stock up the CPs to 500 alternatively for your use to 400. Besides, in what improvements did you succeed? And hopefully, not everything here is outdated.:lol: [/QUOTE]
