  I used to prefer the point system, but changed my mind. to high-power games I used sum-to-ten, both because I like the opportunity to take the same priority more than once, and because when I use BP I nearly allways end up with a very low skillpoints.


When you use BP you frequently end up with low skill points? If you don't mind me asking, what are you putting the BPs into?

BeCKS and NSRCG definately. Most characters end up with believeable backgrounds skills and as my group is spread around the country. They can email their characters before the game and I pull up all the "little accidents" in generation

Don't know how to quote...

Let's take my first character created with prioterties (the only system I knew that time), which can as well be created with sum-to-ten.

A Magic (30 BPs)
B Attributes (54 BPs)
C Race- Elf (10 BPs)
D Nuyen (5 BPs)
E Skills (0 BP)

Given that my GM use 120 BP, when you add A,B,C and D together there are only left 21 Points to skill, instead of 27

And that's a milder case... have created characters were thedifference was greater, but can find them rigth know.

And yes, I know could drop makiong skills to the left-over, but I tend to make relative young characters, think that high attributes are more fitting than high (and many) skills.

Cirenya, you just ran smack into BP's major overcharge: Awakened Characters.

It's not surprising that when converted into BPs, that the two highest BP totals are Awakened.

And to quote you type:

i started enforcing BeCKs on my characters after they discovered the "beauty" of min-maxing character stats

not they're only maxing...terrible powergamers, but good friends afterall, and as long as somebody provides booze(gamemasters need fuel as well), everything's allright :D
