Character Creation

[Alex Koponen]

I like Character creation as it is...but I also see the value in having a
point value system where one buys the Abilities and Multipliers. Either way
could be the base with the other being the optional system.

  In buying Abilities one would start with Abilities at a base. X points to
spend, each Ability Point costing a point (or more if using an EarthDawn
type buy with escalating prices), each half point beyond 1.5 in multipliers
costing Y points, Station costing Z points and Initial Increases costing W
points. I doubt whether one would want Age and Special Events buyable but
it is possible. If so, then Special Abilities like Natural Magician might
cost a LOT of points. On the other hand, Felon might give you more points
to spend elsewhere.

  The value of these different purchases and possible limits on how much
one can buy would take a lot of figuring and a lot of discussion.
