WIP. 3.5e M&M Style

[Grod_The_Giant]

And hit points are not important? I thought people liked having lots of those.

Attack bonus isn't important? You recall ranged and melee touch attacks??

HP are important; that's why I said "tax." Touch attack bonuses are rather less so; 90% of the time they're just going for 10+Dex. I'd absolutely tank my BAB on most caster builds.

To be honest, I'd suggest dropping BAB, base saves, and hit die altogether--let players invest points directly in those abilities, up to some level-based cap, like M&M does. That should give you finer control in a simpler way. If you want to have class features be a point-buy thing, you might as well cut out formal chassis as well.
