[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6405622, member: 85555"] not all people who do 4d6 drop the lowest do two sets though. Lots of people do one set and only eliminate characters they consider hopeless. We have been covering a lot of ground here dealing with many different takes on the method. Again, not all groups do this. And two, the normal procedure is for people to agree on a single method and have all players use that, so it isn't like you would have one player doing this to get an advantage for himself over the other players. But ultimately I think it is a bit odd to question peoples' motives here. That whole business over the pizza, is a mentality I just do not understand. First, we know they like 4d6 drop the lowest. Maybe they are more or less insightful over their own motives, I don't really care if they are or not. The key thing is folks do know what they like, so attacking the reasons they provide for them, really just seems like a sneaky way of getting them to take your method rather than the one they prefer.
