I understand that having bishops worth 5 points comes from their power in standard 4pc on a 14 by 14 cross board, but some custom positions are on smaller boards, and on small boards the power of a bishop is about the same as a 3 point piece. So I think that for custom games there should be the option to either have 3 point bishops, similar to how there are 1 point queens, or have the option to set bishops to 3 points in the game rules. This way on a smaller board it would be possible to have the number of points for bishops more closely match their power.
