Not that the majority don't.Though frankly I think their argument is flawed.It's based upon a graph that DNDBeyond gave out. From 2020 or before?[ATTACH=full]326904[/ATTACH]I don't think they can draw that conclusion nor do I think a conclusion of "most people use array" from it either.The ONLY conclusion you can make, just from the graph, is most people don't click the button for standard array or for rolling with digital dice. I can very well believe people prefer to roll their own real dice, I certainly do. But I don't know that either. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thegamer.com/dnd-players-not-rolling-stats/[/URL]Personally I think rolling stats is how the game is balanced, that and starting at 4th level.I think WotC tried to get people on that footing, trying to convince people that 1st level was only if you wanted that old school early deadliness.I think wotc internally rolls stats, rolls Hit Points, and starts at 4th level mostly.In fact I think it explains both the early deadliness of 1st level in many wotc adventures AND the decreasing difficulty of monsters in proportion to character power as level goes up (or some claim this, Mike Shea for instance, he does have good argument to back him up too).</blockquote>
