[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6720745, member: 6716779"] A couple of weeks ago I joined a D&D group via a online group forming to meet IRL. Great bunch of players and the 1st time ever with a female DM. ANyway we were allowed to roll stats with some rerolls. I kept my 1st roll because I felt rerolling this was a bit excessive. 16 16 15 14 10 11 I chose an avenging Paladin sword and board human with the resilient and inspiring leader feats so I had 17,17 and 16 as my best 3 stats. DM houserule of everyone gets a bonus feat at level 1. The Goliath Barbarian of course rocked on up with 19 strength and 18 con. The other day another PC was rolled up for my home game with a different group. I saw the dice being rolled. 18 18 17 13 12 11 I haven't seen a PC like that since the 90's. I knew it was for a support character/healer (Life Cleric 1/Lore Bard 7 half elf) so I didn't care to much about high ability scores and it was for a replacement PC that died on Sunday. Her planned feats are resilient (con) and healer. So it seems with really good rolls both of us are more inclined to build support PCs and keep the min maxing in check a bit as such. BOth of us could have built more powerful PCs as such with better feats but I don't really see the point and are having fun with it and at level 4 I have a double 18 to look forward to. So basically how do you handle rolling for stats and what do you do if you roll very well or poorly? [/QUOTE]
