[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 1481785, member: 6939"] I don't think the second method will work out very well for the group. Not sure why.... You will get some 18's, but the ones rolling them will probably not get them. I don't think people will be happy with the results. But I could be wrong.... If you use the second method, I would suggest that you make all the rolls, and while they are watching. Heck, if you *really* want a draft, figure out the order; and before rolling let them trade for a higher spot. (ie. The fighter-player will trade his first bonus feat and his 4th round choice to the rogue-player for the rogues 2nd round choice.) You should probably make the trades before making the rolls, but whatever. As for the first idea, I would do it with a point-buy system, and have them 'bid' how many points they are willing to give up. The one that gives up the most gets a feat, etc. You could either do this in rounds so everyone knows what is happening, or just have one round bid blind. . [/QUOTE]
