[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6405251, member: 85555"] I never said I want no possibility of terrible result. I said I do. I like 3d6 down the line. I just recognize most people don't want that and said 4d6 drop the lowest is the norm for that reason. But I'm absolutely fine with terrible results or I wouldn't enjoy rolling 3d6 or having things like random powers and flaws in character creation. You make a very long post and I really don't have time or interest in addressing it at length. All I can say is my interests are different than your interests.
