[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 6413478, member: 1013"] My players won't do point buy, never have. Neither do I. Even when I offered to let them they roll when we started 3e they went for the rolls. So we just do take the stats you roll and make a character. The only rule is that if your total stat mods are less than +1 you can re roll in our old 1e retroclone game and I think 3e had something similar. Not sure what 5e's rule is but we will be doing 4d6 drop the lowest and assign as you will. Nobody seems to complain or cry about Jimmy having a higher stat array. But we tend to not have anything in mind for a PC until we see our stat array, then go from there. Die rolling and player choices tend to be more relevant to character survival than initial stat array IME. I find the talk of dollars to donuts guarantees of rolling stats leading to table problems to be silly. Maybe with your group but it hasn't been my experience. YMMV and all that of course. [/QUOTE]
