Message: <blockquote data-quote="Perun" data-source="post: 1562484" data-attributes="member: 6037">IMC, players use a 35 point-buy method. I decided to switch from standard rolling method (4d6, drop the lowest) after having a character with the equivalent of 41 points and the one with 25 points. Although the 25-point player didn't complain, I as the DM didn't like it.The other DM in the party also uses the 35 point-buy, but he also allows the option of a standard roll. The player who usually rolls real well (the 41 point guy above) opted to roll, and rolled really low for his tastes. However, in his defence, he created the character with numbers he got. Unfortunately, he's a 3.5 ranger focusing on archery feats, and he's the only warrior in the group <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />I would prefer the party to use 32, or even 28 points, as 35 seems a bit over the top, but the party doesn't want to even hear about such a possibility. I originally went for such a high number because the party is not known for being balanced (i.e. they always manage to have at least one of the traditional roles missing), and they are playing the RttToEE campaign.</blockquote>
