View Full Version : Point Buy Beyond?

I'm starting a game IRL with very exagerated heroes and heavy character customization encouraged, and was wondering if there was a point-setup anywhere that was any good at going beyond the 8-18 range.

Anybody have any ideas? Can I just mathematically extend standard pointbuy to 4-22 and remain balanced?

I don't see why it wouldn't work (other than further encouraging min/maxing).

Each point "bought" below 8 would gain you 1 point, down to 4.

19-20 would cost 4 points each; 21-22 would cost 5 points each.

A 22 would wind up costing 34 points, but for a truly SAD character...

I don't worry too much about min-maxxing. Nobody in my group plays full casters, so beyond taking a CHA hit, they won't be willing to dock themselves much.

Thanks for the advice, it was really helpful in deciding where to set stuff!
