This is all very nice, the kind of stuff I wanted to happen years ago. There are a few gripes I have, though.
I appreciate that CDBZ has it's own style apart and seperate from the manga, and how it's been established by the community, but there are some manga standards that would go a long way towards the "personal and customizable characters" idea.
For one, the stat multipliers are too bland, imho. Each race should have more variation in this aspect. For instance, in the manga the Saiya-jins super transformation initially gave the bonus of x2.5 physicals and went up to something like x10 before ascending to the next level, which could fit in perfectly to this system. Of course, this would require more race-specific dynamics, like Saiya-jins base stats would grow at a faster rate (ie: 1 XP = +2 physical stat points).
Then, on the other side the changlings would have stronger transformations but slower stat growth. Etc etc and so forth.
And all transformations that give stat multiplication should have Brilliant Ki, reguardless of rank, with seperate abilities that allow limited stealth while at lower transformed states like this Dark Ki thing I've been hearing about.
