I just merged the description of Point Buy into this article, per forum discussion. I'm also making Point Buy a redirect.

Edit: I threw up Point Buy System and Point Build as additional redirects, since I saw at least a few of those being used on other articles.

I'm considering pulling out the World Of Warcraft example, because it really doesn't fit this trope.

As an explanation for the unaware, World of Warcraft uses a Class And Level system, but at level 10 and every level afterwards, the character receives a "talent point", which they may invest in a talent which boosts a specific aspect of their character. However, this is the only thing that could even be remotely considered point-build, and just about everything else about the characters stats is determined by level.
