THe dieroller is fair (I've tested it myself). More then likely, most people are rerolling until they get something that they like. During the game, the actual game rolling WILL be better, for the rolls will all be under one noae for each character, and they can not cheat (if you did NOT roll multiple times, then the above does not apply to you, so do not take it personally). Anyway, with 4d6/picking the best 3,as a rolling meathode, there is a very good chance that a score will be 13 or above. Here are the chances:3 - 0.0% 1 out of 12964 - 0.0%  4 out of 12965 - 1%6 - 1%7 - 3%8 - 5%9 - 7%10 - 9%11 - 10%12 - 13%13 - 13%14 - 12&15 - 10%16 - 9%17 - 4%18 - 2% 21 out of 1296So there is a 51% chance that a score will be above 13. With the rolls that have been shown, it looks like 20 have been 13 or above, and 15 have been below, so that is a little off if no one had done what I think they may have, so I ran a test <a href="http://www14.brinkster.com/nadaka/Experiments/DiceBoxSearch.asp?FindValue=Test1&SearchFor=UserName" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I rolled 100 times (which is a small persentage of possibilities: If I trully wanted to make an analitical analisis of this program I should roll a minimum of 129600 or 100 times the possible number of results), but even with this small persentage, the average is still pretty close:3 - 04 - 05 - 16 - 17 - 08 - 39 - 1110 - 1511 - 1012 - 1213 - 914 - 1415 - 816 - 817 - 518 - 3In this test, there were actually 53% below 13 and 47% 13 or above, so this one actually ran low on the dice roller. As you can see, there is no reason not to trust the die roller, especially when you have incomplete data (not knowing how many times the other players rolled).Oh, I did find the average off of the 6 rolled in the above test, and since it was 400 rolls I feel better about these results. It averaged to 3.5075, and as you know the average should be 3.5. That, my friend is pretty darn close!</blockquote>
