Yet another caster vs. non-caster fix thread

Based off @meflarius 's thread:

1) Level advancement works as normal EXCEPT you don't get any automatic feats (i.e. 1st, 3rd, 6th, etc.).
2) Each level you get 20 build points.
3) Levels:
___a) Taking a level in a full caster / Tier 1 class or a PrC that advances casting costs 20 build points.
___b) Taking a level in a Tier 2 class costs 15 points (based on JaronK's tiers for now).
___c) Taking a level in a Tier 3 class costs 10 points.
___d) Taking a level in a lower tier class costs 5 points.
___e) To be clear, this is NOT gestalt and you can only take a level for which you have the appropriate XP.
4) Feats are 5 points each.
5) LA buyoff is 10 points per LA.
6) I would think of something to do with excess build points, maybe one point per skill point, no more than 5 spent per level this way, same max ranks as normal.

How does that sound?

I think we have a problem.

Tier 2 + 1 feat per level too powerful vs. Tier 1 with no feats? Yes, you are probably right. Still, that is a point value kink, not the deathknell of the idea.

The point system would both nerf full casters (by denying them feats) and boost non-casters (by providing PLENTY of feats).

I will work on the points, please think about the general idea.
 




Wait, so I can be a Factotum that takes 2 feats each level? Sweet.

2 feats per level Psychic Warrior, plus the built in feats? I think I'd be stronger than a Psion.

No, wait, I'll take a 1 feat per level Psion. And I shall conquer the world. Yes, this is my choice.
 


Well, Beguiler being Tier 3 is beyond stupid, also. As I've said, I don't like the tier system. Beguiler is at least on par with Sorcerer.
Shhh... The Beguilers don't want people to know that. Keeping those sorts of things secret is sorta their thing.
*Handwave* These are not the droids you are looking for...

Depends on the Sorcerer. Beguilers are better than Sorcerers who specialize in enchantment and illusion, however, if the Sorcerer is going to go for the nuclear option...
