Point-Buy
This is the customization method used for ranged and ability-focused classes.
HOW IT WORKS
You are given a number of customization points based on your level which can be used to purchase abilities from a tiered list (see example below). The list is divided into three tiers: Expert, Adept, and Novice. You will receive a number of Expert points equal to your level, and then LV+1 for Adept and LV+2 for Novice. Unspent points in a higher tier can be ‘dropped down’ and spent at lower tiers.
- Cost is how many points you must spend to purchase the ability.
- Max is the maximum amount of times you may purchase the ability.
- Your total uses may be greater than this maximum if the ability grants multiple uses per purchase (see below).
- Frequency is the frequency and amount of uses you receive for each purchase.
- For example, if something is Cost: 1, Max: 4, and has a Frequency of 1/Life, you could spend 4 points to purchase it 4 times and your total amount of uses would be 4/Life.
- As another example, if something is Cost: 1, Max: 3, and has a Frequency of 2/Life, you could spend 3 points to purchase it 3 times and your total amount of uses would be 6/Life because each purchase grants 2 uses.
- The Archetype columns show which abilities are part of which Archetypes. The available Archetypes themselves are listed underneath the main list of options.
- Range and Type are just providing quick references to the Range and Ability Type for the ability. They do not impact class customization.
