I ask about the formula for the simple reason that I use an Excel program to help me figure pt totals out. I'd attach it here but this forum doesn't allow attachments; its actually pretty accurate.

I'm curious as to how you define the accuracy of your formula. I simply believe this game is chock full of outliers on both ends for there to be an 'accurate' program for figuring out point totals.

Like I said before, the best thing you can do is ballpark it and then take everything else into account.

For example, does your program assign a point value for Deadly Attack? If so, does that change if the character also has Flurry Attack? Alone those abilities are not worth much, maybe 2 points each at best. Together I'd say the combo is worth around 8.

Anyway, I hope this post does not feel like an attack, because it is not, I'm merely curious about your methods as well.

The program doesn't take into account what any particular combo does, just assigns pt totals for certain things, or x, with steps/plateau's for higher costs with more powers or 2x; I didn't write it but it seems to be darn accurate when I compare what I have with what other customizers I talk with come up with. When compared with WOTC, its usually pretty accurate there too.
