Oh, totally. Like I said, when I first saw the 4e book, I was offended that they pooh-poohed rolling stats. That's what I was used to as well.

If you used the point buy system, you wouldn't be able to have stats as high as yours, but that's okay - you're rolling. If you used point buy, starting with all 10s, you'd have 20 points left to spend. You've spent 23 (5 on Str, 2 on Con, 2 on Dex, 0 in Int, 9 on Wis and 5 on Cha). So, it's not crazy-overpowered or anything like that, but it's better than you could get with point-buy.

Just to be clear, that is COMPLETELY OKAY. For a home game, you are absolutely welcome to roll stats. It was just surprising to see, in a nice, old-school way.

I didn't read enough about rolling, I guess. I saw it in the PH and I'm old school, so I wanted to roll.

I didn't think my rolls were that great....

16,14,14,12,12,10

With HE racial +2 con, cha I got

Str: 14
Con: 14
Dex: 12
Int: 10
Wis: 16
Cha: 16

Standard array is 16, 14, 14, 11, 10, 10, (before racial modifiers), so you did good.

Which isn't great, but is slightly above statistical average for 4d6, arrange to taste, reroll by-the-book hopeless characters (the vast majority of characters created by rolling dice and actually played are better than the statistical average for the gaming system's official dice rolling method, in my experience; this is usually due to table rules for dice rolling being more generous than what's in print, rather than cheating).

My wife can roll 3d6 for her stats and end up w/nothing lower than 13, probably 2 or 3 15+ scores. No, she won't roll up your characters
