[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 6628547, member: 6795602"] Don't have to. They already volunteered the info and it's still unfathomable to me. That probably means people prefer rolling because of nostalgia (which is something I can't comprehend since I don't have their nostalgia). I've not yet seen one example of someone describing something that rolling accomplishes that is a good thing. I've read it gives greater variance in stats. I fail to see how this can be a pro at all. It's definetely something I'd list as one of the biggest cons. I've read it makes someone feel like they aren't playing an NPC. I'm not going to say it couldn't but if that's the only legitimate pro to rolling that can be came up with then there is a problem. I can explain why I dislike rolling. Too much stat variance is bad for balance and makes for spot light stealing and makes the DM's job to challenge the PC's that much harder. Though if someone else can actually offer some good reasons for why they prefer rolling I'm all ears. [/QUOTE]
