I subscribe to the belief that PCs shouild be HEROES and not have especially substandard ability scores unless the player works something out with the DM beforehand.In other words I would like the averaqge ability to be at 13.5-14 Of the rolling systems I have seen I really like the idea that was mentioned of assigning 3d6 to each stat and then adding a number of d6's to the scores beofre you roll. So a typical character might add 9d6 to their abilities like soStr 5d6Dex 4d6Con 3d6Int 6d6Wis 4d6Cha 5d6and then keep only the highest 3 rolls for each score (NO re-assigning)So the first part of my question, what number of other dice (6, 9, 12, 300?) would give an average score of around 13.5-14 in each abilityNow for the second part. I like the idea of a point buy system as well...i see the merits of both types, and as a DM I would like to offer both options to players. SO, I need a point buy system that allows an Ave score of 13.5-14 or so and allows for high scores to be possible as well.I dont know if anyone can or will do this for me...but I would be very interested to see what you all can turn up...and I wouldnt mind seeing a few original point buy systems turn up either as I am not that big a fan of the standard WOTC table...I wouldnt ask this if i could do it myself, but I suck at math...thanks</blockquote>
