[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 6405957, member: 85555"] I think you are seriously projecting here. Rolling high isn't an accomplishment. And playing in a game where you roll 3d6 down the line and take what you get (which I prefer personally) isn't a sign of being hard core or old school. The old school method from AD&D 1E was 4d6 drop the lowest and they even emphasized in the book the importance of having two high stats and being exceptional. So it isn't like people using 4d6 are busting the system. Even folks who use 4d6 and do two sets, are not disrupting the balance of the game. I think most of the folks here can attest the game runs fine whether you do 4d6 or two sets of 4d6. I've never encountered issues running it with those or with 3d6. With the latter you will get weaker characters generally and you might experience a bit more character death (particularly early on). Again none of that makes one hard core. This isn't MMA here. We are just rolling up characters and sending them into dungeons and wilderness. I mean whether your okay with characters being weak or characters dying a lot just has to do with whether you find character death disruptive to play or not (some people do, some don't). I don't know, like with the whole random thing, maybe people should just take us at our word here rather than project motives on us like wanting to be hardcore. [/QUOTE]
