Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sir Whiskers" data-source="post: 1147659" data-attributes="member: 6941">I never devloped the system in detail, as my old campaign ended before anyone took advantage of the idea. The only part I fleshed-out was for skill ranks. I allowed characters to purchase additional skill ranks, but no more than their level. Cost for the first rank purchased was 50 xp, the second was 100 xp, the third 150 xp, and so on. A character could purchase no more extra ranks than their level, but the cost remained the same regardless of when purchased. Example: Bob the fighter purchases an extra skill rank at 1st level, spending it on his Ride skill. The cost is 50 xp. Later, when Bob has reached 4th level, he purchases three more ranks, spending two on Ride and one on Handle Animal. The total cost for these three ranks is 450 xp (100 + 150 + 200). As Bob has now purchased a total of four ranks, he cannot purchase another until he reaches 5th level.Obviously, the cost increased too quickly - a 4th level character spending 500 xp for 4 skill ranks is too expensive. I'm considering a flat cost of 50 xp per rank, still limited by level.For other abilities, I'm kicking around 300-500 xp for a feat (probably the higher number) or scaling it based on current level. For spells, I'd consider allowing sorcerers and wizards to gain new spells known for 100 xp * spell level (wizard), 200 xp * spell level (sorcerer). Also, I'd like to include the rules for prestige races from Dragon 304. Tywyll, when you have something put together, I hope you'll post it - I'd be interested in seeing your approach.</blockquote>
