I am not sure this is even the right section to post this but I thouhg I would try. I know back in the 3.5 days a company made a pdf book (can not find it at the moemnt for the title or company) that set up 3.5 into a about a 95% mach up so instead of getting a level up at x number of xp you can instead use the xp to buy all your parts of a level A La Cart. Does anyone know of anyone doing something like this for pathfinder? If you do please let me know what it is and where to find it.


Could you perhaps be talking about Dreamscarred Press' Complete Control - Character Design for the Uninhibited?
I don't now of anyone who has done anything similar for Pathfinder, but it should be relatively trivial to use the system guidelines they've presented there to work out the cost of PF-specific abilities, if you're so inclined.

I did find the 3.5 one that I had brought. It was Buy the Numbers from S.T. Cooley Publishing at Rpgnow. Does anyone know if some one did something like this for pathfinder though as this is out of date for pathfinder and personly I am not good enough to update it for my home game.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. It's pretty much a rubbish idea anyway. The execution of that was flawed, and the balance issues questionable at best. If you're not "good enough to balance it" as you say than I advise that you don't allow it's use at all.

Thanks for taking the time to at lest read this


We looked at updating Complete Control for Pathfinder and the problem is that Pathfinder changed the XP system around, which makes it a much harder venture - which includes creating a new XP system that adds balance to it again and isn't as much "plug and play" as Complete Control was.
