This buying of CPs would be a one-shot option right at the start of the game. It's not something that would be offered every time you leveled. I think it would add more diversity to the character generation process.

Another way in which it could be implemented is something like this: If a person where to choose to use the supplied backgrounds, then they wouldn't get to choose the option to buy CPs and they could only spend their money on equipment.

If a person decided to forego choosing a background, then they could have the choice of either buying equipment or a CP or two.

In whatever manner it the buying of CPs could possibly be implemented though it would still give us, the player, another option to use when we first create the character that we want to go tramping through the wilderness with.

 

The more I think about it the more realistic gets. Look Blunder for example you have some backgrounds witch the provide you with more money, however you loosing the CP. Average background starts with 400 gold, let’s say you can afford to CP, but you chose inheritance, you have more money but less CP. Of course this require some balancing and deeper thought. Right Troika?? Anybody??
