[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5832449, member: 13703"] Yeah, I had thought of that, and discussed it with one of my players. I discounted it as I think it will result in stats that are too high. You're basically rolling 5 sets of stats and then picking the best one. You would have to think that at least one of those 5 sets of stats is going to be pretty awesome. I'm thinking multiple high stats and probably nothing below a 10. I know the heroes are supposed to be extra special, but that is probably too high powered for the game I want to run. The players already have access to the entire Complete series (3.5E) and the Spell Compendium. Everything outside the PHB still has to be approved by me first, but it does make for more powerful character compared to characters using just the PHB. I also allow 3 Action Points (as per the rules in Unearthed Arcana, but limited to a maximum of 3 per PC at any time), which bumps the PC's power level up a little bit as well. I know the AoW is regarded as a difficult campaign and has a reputation for PC kills but, based on how the Shacked City campaign went (another campaign regarded as a meatgrinder) I think my players will be able to handle it without the need for super-high stats. Thanks for the suggestion though. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
