Point costs aren't nearly as good for that, because they can be arbitrarily adjusted using goofy limitations that may well not be there for any other reason but to keep costs down.

I was afraid that allowing the player to purchase everything through signature gear and wealth would mess up the balance of the game, it just seems to be a much more cost effective way to get abilities than buying super-powers of the mutant kind, for example.. But since more than one member of the forums seems to be suggesting this i'll give it a go and see how it plays out, thank you all for the tips and help !
