Wham, bam, I've spent 'em!You don't seem to have a problem with the point buy so much as you do with the results of 4d6/drop the lowest. Set the point-buy at 36-37 points and you get near-identical results... they just won't be in line with the 4d6 method.The system I wrote was an attempt to better represent the 4d6 curve than WotC's original attempt. It was not an attempt to rewrite "what a good ability score" is, or to provide even higher averages.In fact, your system better represents 1d10+8. Which is fine, if that's what you prefer. But 36 points also does that pretty decently well.</blockquote>
