Well, if anyone cares, the previous topic, which CJMPinger mentioned and which discussed this was
there. Arguably it ended up being a lot about definitions of what people mean be roleplay, power-gaming, and whether the Custom Origin is more of a boost to roleplaying or power-gaming. I nearly thought of bumping it, but I like the title of this thread better.
So I'd like to ask : what do people generally against TCoE's Custom Origin rule (as well as those in favour) think of the following character creation custom rule :
- Ability Scores are limited to 17 or 18, at level 1, after character creation (GM's choice).
- Start with M Ability Points in each Ability (say M=8, like in the PHB), as well as N Purchase Points (say N = 75, for the sake of giving a number).
- Buying one Ability Point (AP) costs 1 Purchase Point (PP) until and including 14, then 2 PP until 17, then 3 PP for the 18th AP (if made available).
- Apply standard Ability Score Improvements after purchase.
Would that be acceptable ?
ps : obviously, Roll should be included in the game. I kind of take it for granted, but I hope it makes it.
