Re: [DL] Alternate starting character points

["William Ogden" <w_ogden@hotmail.com>]

you math is correct sir.

We did a campaign using SCK*2.5, that puts the break even point at skill 
level 4.

I use times 3, but then say hucksters etc. do not get free hexes = to their 
hexslinging, hexes, miricles, gifts, favors etc all have to be bought at 5 
each.  This basically means that non arcane types end up tougher than under 
the standard system
