I've offered either rolling or point buy as an option, but if you roll you're stuck with it. This represents the risk of getting higher stats (statistically likely), but with a descent chance of being worse than point buy. Eventually I relented (my players hate point buy), and now allow a rolled character to default to standard array, which is just worse than point buy.Variable ability scores within the party was a significant issue in 3E (and probably 4E too), but it's not quite as bad in 5E. With bounded accuracy a character can still contribute, if at a lower capacity (I've done it myself). Of course, if you have hyper competitive players, this is a serious problem, regardless of edition. I was a player in a campaign that died in session 0 because one player rolled way better than another player, causing a massive argument.</blockquote>
