I was browsing through the forums, looking to see if anyone had any character generation solutions proposed that used Build Points, rather than Karma, throughout the game.

Trying to see if there are any legitimate solutions/alternatives to the whole 'Buy some skills really high, while they're cheap in chargen' and 'Buy the other skills, really low, with karma when the game has started'.

Any threads out there on this already? Has anyone had any luck actually implimenting this type of a system into SR4?
