Extra character points

if someone has extra cp after they build their character they should go somewhere instead of being lost.

Yeah, it would be a good idea to multiply them by a certain number and add to progression points.

Hello,

Perhaps the extra character points could become progression points (provided they aren\'t too many).

and perhaps the same thing for negative cp. except the scaling factor is much greater. for example 1 extra cp translates to 10 pp. but -1 cp translates to -100 pp. so the character would have to work that much harder before they could even begin to train.

Well, negative points won\'t allow a character to be uploaded at all, so that isn\'t really an issue in-game. But it would be nice for extra CP to be converted to something, aye.

or there could be another page where you increase your stats using them but, doing this is more costly than going through the questions and stuff so no1 would skip there and use them all on that page.

That would kind of work against the idea of char creation where the skills you gain are based on your actions...

If the whole character creation works on the basis of skills based on events, then that being followed by a typical points distibution seems completely out of place.
