The prohibition against boosting high stats will make the array look something like 15, 14, 15, 15, 10, 8.I don't myself see the advantage of 15, 14, 15, 15, 10, 8 over 16, 14, 13, 12, 10, 9. Race will then add some points. 4d6 take the best three means I can take human and get 17, 15, 14, 13, 11, 10. Or non-human and get 18, 15, 13, 12, 10, 9.3d6 keep and add two d4s means I can take human and get 16, 15, 16, 16, 11, 9. Or non-human and get 17, 14, 16, 15, 10, 8.I feel like the 4d6 stat-lines look more interesting than the 3d6 plus 2d4 ones.So that's pretty much my critique. It's an imaginative system but I feel like you could question the merit in terms of the arrays it will tend to output.</blockquote>
