[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 1780147, member: 19130"] Does that sound like betraying my bias to you? I do like point buy when I'm playing, obviously, but the fact that I can't roll high stats has very little to do with it [I]when I'm Dming[/I]. Except that your base stats never change. Lucky rolls come and lucky rolls go, but (un)lucky rolls for stats are with you forever. That's a problem with multiple-ability dependancy. It has nothing to do with point buy and everything to do with the specific class. In fact, using point buy for these characters is a [I]good [/I]thing because you can make sure you have the minimum acceptable stats you need, whereas if you rolled the stats you have to take what you can get and minimize the damage. In fact, the point buy rules make it easier to buy lots of good stats than one high stat for just this reason. You can buy two 14s and a 12 for the price of one 18. In any case, it's probably not worth hashing out any more unless someone has a substantial objection they haven't voiced yet. [/QUOTE]
