[Rq-rules] Speaking of revival

[Frank Filz]

I'm about to start a new Rune Quest campaign. I prefer 1st/2nd edition to 
3rd. I have a big issue though, I have decided to never again use random 
character generation, so I'd like to use a point build system, the problem 
is that the various attributes are very unbalanced. INT, which is one of two 
attributes that can't be increased (SIZ is the other), applies to almost 
every skill (and is often one of the most important attributes), plus of 
course it's the number of spirit spells a character can keep ready. DEX is 
also very important. CON is almost least important (especially if one goes 
with SIZ based hit points - though CON is used to resist poisons and such). 
STR doesn't factor into many skills, but is important for which weapons are 
useable and one's damage bonus. POW of course has it's own importance, and 
adds in a minor way to lots of skills. CHA hangs out as the least useful.

I've looked at 5th ed Stormbringer, but with that system, attributes play 
almost not at all into skills (and there is no penalty of a large size). 
Further, excepting previous experience (which I did borrow some ideas from 
3rd ed. for), all characters are going to look awfully the same at the 
start.

Has anyone worked up a good point buy system? Preferably I'd like to have 
balanced attributes so they can all cost the same.
