Why have we tollerated this for so long?.  I mean doesn't it make you feel bad when the other guy rolls a 20 and you roll a 1? Why should his lucky roll result in his caracter's success while your honest 1 is a failure?  This is a fundemental problem with gaming.....it needs fixed pronto.  I think I'll just give them a set of points that they can apply to thier "rolls".  Well, they're not actually rolling because they all start with the average roll and apply thier points to the die in a weighted scale that consumes more of thier points the higher they want each outcome to be.  I'm supprised the rest of the "point buy fans haven't thought of this....this would truly make all characters equal in thier stat potential and the outcome of any actions they take....This is just too cool,Discalimer: This is sarcasim inspired by an intense dislike for the point buy system.  It is not an attempt to attack you or the way you play, even if you play using the point by system.  Individuals are free to play their games as they wish.  While you are free to coment about my thoughts understand that I will not respond in any way.  It was my wish to poke some fun at dice and thier potential randomness in general not you or the system you use.  </blockquote>
