[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9190580, member: 22779"] Never made any claims about the game math. It's certainly not necessary. Note, this whole die rolling side bar started out because people were claiming that players shouldn't be allowed to choose their characters/classes before rolling their characters. That point buy is somehow bad because it allows players to choose their classes rather than forcing random choice upon them. That the game is somehow more "natural" if we use random character generation. Somehow we've taken something of a right turn into this territory which is extremely well trod. And, again, @Paramandur, you DM. I'll assume anyway. Look at the character sheets. Presumably you have a fair sampling of them going back several years. I will virtually guarantee that the die rolled characters will have stat values at least as high as point buy and typically higher and very often far higher. Certainly it is far, far more common than statistically plausible. [/QUOTE]
