Riddle of Steel has an expanded version of something similar.
You have 7 different categories, things like Race, Social Class,
Skills, Advantages etc. You prioritise each one, and the higher
the priority the more points you get.
Race is something like:
A: High elf
B: Elf
C: Half elf
D: Magical human
E-G: Standard human
So, if you wanted the magical advantages of being a high elf,
you need to stick Race in your Priority A slot. This means though
that you can't stick, say, Skills as priority A, or social class
as priority A.
Skills, advantages, weapon packages are done on a straight point
rating. So skills might be:
A: 40pts
B: 30pts
C: 25pts
D: 20pts
E: 16pts
F: 12pts
G: 9pts
