They are like creatures with multiple stats in this way. By rolling an A.S. a number of connected powers are conveniently also determined. But even then I find rolling one is best done simply at the table or in preparation when those powers are being explored or are likely to be. PCs roll 'em right away of course, but most other creatures, objects, or locations with them can typically wait for some to all.As to D&D I think ability scores can be changed and through different iterations have changed even radically. But as far as the six names themselves I doubt the fanbase would largely agree to their alteration or loss.</blockquote>
