[QUOTE="Zerovoid, post: 291216, member: 283"] I'm a big fan of point buy, and I admit that its partially since I tend to roll poorly. Not that I belive in luck, but it seems while everyone else is yelling "Yes an 18!", I'm getting a 14, and when they say "Crap, only 13," I'm probably rolling a 5 or something. Quite frankly, with the scores I see in most rolled adventuring parties, I think everyone cheats when they roll without supervision. Maybe you take a "practice roll", or you reroll one bad score in an otherwise honest set of stats. Then there are people who say "I rolled up a couple of characters, but then I decided I didn't want to be a wizard or cleric, so I made a ranger instead." This person probably rolled a different set of scores for each character, but then went all the way through character generation just so they wouldn't feel like they had rolled several sets of stats, and taken the best one :) I use the Living Greyhawk standard for stats and hitpoints. 18 point buy, and hit points are always 1/2 rounded up.
