[MENTION=23751]Maxperson[/MENTION] - I'm not saying anything about how Gygax ran his game. I'm reporting what the AD&D rulebooks say.
No, but you are making a judgment call about what Gygax meant with what he said in the AD&D rulebook. His post here is a doorway into his mind on this subject. The post even references WHY he created so many different ways to roll up stats. The post I quoted makes it incredibly likely that your judgment call is incorrect and what he meant in the AD&D PHB is for DMs to allow players to re-roll until they get two or more 15's or higher.
