[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6812352, member: 5834"] If they're part of the Board Game Society, they don't mind reading and learning a game. I'd go with point buy and use ASIs for the first go around. Let them learn how to distribute stat points, choose class and archetype combinations, and learn spell selection before you work in other choices like feats.
