[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5845165, member: 92305"] This is akin to a system I used to use call [B][COLOR=blue]The Slide[/COLOR][/B]. Here's how it works. 1. Player rolls up six stats. Record in order as he rolls them. I usually use 4d6, drop lowest. 2. A stat Array could look like this: 15 13 8 16 17 10 The player must then keep the stats in order, but he can start apply them any way he likes. There are always six possibilies. For this set of rolls, the player can choose from: Choice 1-- STR 15 DEX 13 CON 8 INT 16 WIS 17 CHR 10 Choice 2-- STR 13 DEX 8 CON 16 INT 17 WIS 10 CHR 15 Choice 3-- STR 8 DEX 16 CON 17 INT 10 WIS 15 CHR 13 Choice 4-- STR 16 DEX 17 CON 10 INT 15 WIS 13 CHR 8 Choice 5-- STR 17 DEX 10 CON 15 INT 13 WIS 8 CHR 16 Choice 6-- STR 10 DEX 15 CON 13 INT 8 WIS 16 CHR 17 So, if you wanted to play a thief, you might look at choices 1, 3, 4, and 6. If you wanted to play a fighter, you might look at choices 1, 2, 4, and 5. And so on, depending on your character goals. [/QUOTE]
