Crucible only characters? - Problem is devotion points.

I do not know anything about modding but I got the idea to make a Crucible only character. Kind of like a gladiator career thing.

You start level 1 in the crucible and only use whatever gear you get in the crucible. The first 10 waves are tough as you have No gear so I gave my dude 500 iron bits to purchase basic equipment from the merchant in the crucible. But other than that I do not use the shared stash.

Working pretty well and I got myself a level 12 character in yellow gear. I feel this could be great fun but the problem is you would never have your devotion points.

For this mode I would like to give the character 1 devotion point every 2 levels and 2 points at level 10, 20, 30 etc…

Is there an easy way to achieve this or would it be incompatible with the crucible?

EDIT - Silly me I just realized you could buy devotion points in the crucible - I had played it several hours and never realized this. Consider this thread Voided.
