It doesn't do anything to discourage min/maxxers, but it does treat all classes equally.Meaning, first set your power level. A 32 point put results in, best case scenario, a total modifier bonus of +10 (all 14's and a 10). Simply tell the players that they can create a character who's total modifier bonus is +10. I also recommend that you set a min score, say +0 (or 10). ***********An alternative which is also the same is to give everyone 20 points, start stats at 10 and they can buy up their stats on a point per point basis.**********That being said, if you want randomness...You could start with 10 and roll one d6 for each stat. Average there *should* be 13.5. Then you can have one "bonus" d6 rolled, and you can use the results of that dice to buy up stats on a point per point basis (to allow the possibility of an 18) But as long as you allow randomness you're going to get some awesome characters, and some aweful ones.</blockquote>
