Races that are significantly above require some sacrifice - typically, weakening the race until it does work. | Races that are significantly above require some sacrifice - typically, weakening the race until it does work. | ||

| + | === Classes === | ||
| + | |||
| + | A single level in a class is worth 10 Character Points of new talents, if they are rolling a d4 for their hit dice, getting 4+Int Skill Points, and gaining 4 Prowess, and uses the slow Base Attack Bonus increase rate. The earned character point count is modified by the following rules: | ||
| + | |||
| + | : For each step up on the hit die, remove one character point. | ||
| + | : If only getting 2+Int Skill Points, add one character point. | ||
| + | : If getting 6+Int Skill Points, remove one character point. | ||
| + | : If getting 8+Int Skill Points, remove two character points. | ||
| + | : If getting only 2 Prowess, add one character point. | ||
| + | : If getting 6 Prowess, remove one character point. | ||
| + | : For each strong save the class has, remove one full character point. | ||
| + | : If the class gains BAB at the medium rate (15 at 20th level), remove one full character point. | ||
| + | : If the class gains BAB at the fast rate (20 at 20th level), remove two full character points. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Weapon Proficiencies arrays should compare to comparable d20 or d20r classes - a spellcaster only getting simple weapons, a fighter getting some of everything. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the point value of talents ends up running with a half point, then that half-point 'floats' into the next level, meaning that even-numbered levels will provide more talents. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Tags === | ||
| + | |||
| + | All tag 'values' for the purposes of comparison are the value to a ''player character''. All costs assume a player-character - many things will be worth less in the hands of NPCs, who show up less often. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A 4-point tag should compare to an average Feat in value. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Two tags of equal cost should be worth around the same to the player. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tags can start at 1 to 10 character points. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some Tags will be cheaper for specific classes, or only useful for certain classes or in conjunction with other Tags. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Skills === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Two Skill points cost one character point. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Feats === | ||
| + | |||
| + | One Feat costs four character points. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''Yes'', this means skill-booster feats are now inefficient (two character points of advantage for four character points). | ||
