Point Based
Point Based is the default loot mode. Profile members earn a loot-point balance that the Loot Helper roster displays and that Raid Check can increase when a player is prepared.
Existing profiles start in Point Based. Switching to Reward Pot hides loot points without deleting them; switching back restores the same balances.
What you see
The Loot Helper window title uses the profile's point name. Each profile member shows that named point balance in its own column. Profile admins raise or lower that balance in half-point steps from Loot Helper → Character.
The roster also shows BiS slots used out of possible slots and an equipment-readiness warning only when something is known to be missing. The Att.% and Prep.% glance columns are temporarily hidden; presence and preparedness history are still recorded. Reward Pot Attendance points stay stored while Point Based is active and are adjusted from the same Character page. They are not the (currently hidden) Att.% glance metric.
Raid Check
Pre-Raid Check reports missing requirements. It does not change loot points.
Raid Check inspects only profile members who are currently in the raid. Prepared members receive the profile's Points Per Raid Check award (0, 0.5, or 1). Inspection Failed does not receive points and does not count as Unprepared. Never-inspectable players are Unprepared.
Configure the award, whispers, and optional minimum item level under Loot Helper → Session. Enchant and gem rules are addon-owned. A player below an enabled minimum item level does not receive the Prepared award. Only profile admins can change those settings or run a check.
Equipment history
The gear button still records whether a loot category has been used. In Point Based, that history is separate from the Character-page loot-point controls.
