[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7275937, member: 23"] My favored method is, by far, Redrick Roller, with the stats re-ordered as you wish [url]http://aramis.hostman.us/dnd/RedrickRoller.html[/url] The main properties of this is that it's a 27 point roll, with no score above 15, so it's "balanced". However, there is some randomness because the scores aren't exactly as you wished. So it combines the benefits of both methods, and it can be inspiring for character creation, and avoid "dump stats". For example, I just rolled 10 13 11 11 15 13 Looking at this, I see a *lot* of odd scores, and a lot of +1 and +0 stats. If I took a standard human, the rolls become 11 14 12 12 16 14, which would be a great stat set for a MAD character - this would make a great paladin or monk for example Re-rolling I got 10 14 9 12 15 12 Now this array would probably benefit more from another race (ie a +2 and a +1), and would make a solid foundation for a dwarven cleric or fighter, for example. etc etc [/QUOTE]
