Even if one has full customization the SCL is still a video game. The points total thing is about asymetrical mutliplayer game play experience, where the player taking the DM position is meant to not use the tools and just slaughter the players with actual characters. I imagine that this more derived from the random dungeon delving aspect but again, even if it isn't I don't think SCL is wrong for including the points total in any other function of the game.SCL isn't trying to replace something like Roll 20. What it is trying to do is emulate the experience of having a DM in a multiplayer video game. Something is there to control certain aspects of the game. As it stands as well, from I've read, there are DM Rankings (essentially a leader board), as well as player leader Boards. One way to allow the DM Leader Board to work is have an arbitrary limit on what the DM player can do. Effectively it works on the idea that the DM that uses the points budget but has the players still survive is better than the guy that uses the points budget and just kills them.</blockquote>
