[QUOTE="FreeTheSlaves, post: 2472337, member: 9952"] It springs from a need to validate the scores so you can say aloud that they were rolled, were random & were witnessed (but in actuality is BS). I have had a couple of players that were similar in this regard, they wanted specific scores but wanted to use a generation method that on average would not provide them with, so they rerolled, but every reroll caused mounting invalidation. This is why I ask my friends: 1) How random do they want the scores to be? 2) What are the upper & lower minimums they want to see? 3) What is the average score they want? 4) Do they want me to adjust up or down my npcs from the base 15 & 25pt buy? They might answer: small randomness; at least one 18 & nothing lower than 10; average 15; & have the occasional mighty npcs to challenge them. So I respond with: [18*1, 16*1, (d4+d6+8)*4] averages 15; leader npcs have same generation method. In effect I build a sub-system to generate the desired scores, not the other way around, & I'll do the same with hps. [/QUOTE]
