[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7556958, member: 29398"] This is why all rolling is done on the table in front of other people. Show up with a pre-rolled character? Fine. Put that away and haul out yer dice, 'cause you're gonna need 'em. That said, I've seen 18.00 strength honestly rolled in my current campaign, along with some ridiculous psionic scores* in previous campaigns which led me to drop psionics completely asd a PC thing for this one. * - the way I did psionics was you rolled your normal chance a la the 1e PH, and if you came up as psionic you then rolled d-1000 to see how (relatively) powerful you were and what abilities you had in my homebrew system - to this day I still haven't figured out how RAW 1e psionics are supposed to work. A 990, a 995 and a 997 - all honestly rolled in front of me - and the resulting headaches were enough to convince me psionics had to go. Never mind that the 990 and 997 were in characters of...well let's say dubious-at-best...ethics and morals. [/QUOTE]
