Finally! Somebody's got it right! This is the way I think character
archetype generation should be -- a 10 point system such as this
equalizes characters for the start of play. The rule in some editions
that states that priorities from 4 to 0 MUST be all used -- even if
it means that some priority points are completely wasted, such as a
3 or less in Race -- is a load of drek, IMHO.

If you're not using all of your priority points, you're missing out on
something.
