[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 6372776, member: 10638"] Regarding stat distribution: The spread for highest is distributed equally (and randomly) amongst the top two. So for example: Warlock has Wis and Cha listed as highest. The program randomly picks the top two and randomly assigns them to these. It does not min-max the spellcaster's "primary" ability for diversity's sake. If you got a warlock with a 10 charisma, I can only imagine what the other rolls were! Theoretically, it is possible using the 4d6-d to roll all 3's prior to racial bonus. I've seen a few 4's on testing. [edit: I'll make a note about that in the design and simply suggest that people roll up a new character. I'll probably also put in a drop down list so you don't have to wait for the next Warlock to come up. I could min-max certain characters, but it should spark some new ideas when they're not..afterall, if the DM is using this tool for NPC's it won't matter, and for player characters it is an 'inspirational tool' ;) ] [edit2: I'm going to set the 2nd stat for Warlock and sorcerer to Dex...are there any others that you see that should be changed? I updated cleric to wis/con, druid to wis/con, warlock,sorcerer to cha/con] [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/167876/D%26D%20Stuff/D%26D%205e%20Random%20Character%20Generator%205.0.xlsx[/url] Also note, I put tiefling/dragonborn at the bottom of the chart in case Gms want to remove them from the random rolls..I'll prob move drow there too. jh [/QUOTE]
