I haven't actually generated a characer with the point system, although
I've read the Companion. But, if most players are choosing the point
system, shouldn't it be Weakened, not made standard?
I also feel that in a campaign, all the characters should have to be
generated by one system or another system, not a mix of the 2..

Bah, wrestling will be on in 15 minutes. I'll just leave this till the
morning.

Hrm, 1 am. 2 hours of wrestling is better than 2 hours of any other sport :)

I meant to generate a quick character with each system and compare them
tonight, but I have a job interview tommorrow, and I'm sleepy.
