Dungeons And Dragons Online: DDO News: Amount for Point Buying System Announced

Xundau dropped by the official forums to let everyone know the team has decided on the amount of points to give players to customize their characters when they roll them up. Here's what he said:

As of right now, the chargen point buy is set at 28 points, using the standard D&D point buy rules. We chose this amount for a number of reasons, and this is the figure that we're going to use heading into beta. We might play around with the number a little bit as beta progresses, but it's extremely unlikely that we'll change it before then.

Twenty-eight shall be the number of the points, and the number of the points shall be twenty-eight. At the beginning of beta, anyway. You can read his post right here.
