Doing that, starting everyone off with the same number, only works if you're buying future TP with XP -- otherwise, giving away TP with IQ or any other attribute increases leads to every figure with the same attribute total as another figure always having the same number of talent points. Not that they would pick the same talents, but everyone at a given level having the same quantity, even with radically different IQs, just feels a little whacky :) For myself I just want to get away from the separate buying of talents with XP altogether.
Right, TP would just be bought with XP. I meant this as another way to resolve the weirdness of IQ only figuring in at the start.

One issue with keeping it tied to attributes is that any PC really only gets 8-10 additional attribute points during its lifetime. The 500XP/TP thing does help with character growth if you stick with the Legacy attribute point costs.
