Anyway, if I did rearrange the points to be more point-efficient (something that I rarely bother with for characters that I'm not planning on playing, and don't really have the mindset for most of the time), it wouldn't mean that he'd have more points to spend, it would just mean that his point total was lower. For characters like this (NPCs), I don't start with an intended point total and build up to it, I create a character that fits whatever concept I'm working on, and then find out what the point-cost is at the end.

EDIT: I mean, once I see the result, I may decide to make a few changes, but if so it's more likely to be for aesthetic reasons than for point-efficiency (e.g. adding a few things to bring James up to 230, I think).
