I am now thinking about using them in the future.As a DM, I like the idea of everyone agreeing to the same array, but that's very unlikely to happen, and I like to give players interesting choices in chargen. So instead I am considering giving them three or so arrays to choose from. I realize that all else being equal, some arrays are more optimal than others, so I will try to offer carrots with the less optimal arrays.In that vein, a 'generalist' array is the classic unoptimized array pattern, particularly in 4E. So assuming I can balance this with a valuable mechanical perk, what do you think is the minimum (reasonable) primary ability score that an 'Even Steven' array can get away with? Is 15 too low, without being build-specific?Strictly for the sake of conversation, lets start with 15/14/14/12/11/10. Just how bad does that suck? Is there a useful Even Steven array a resourceful player can work with?</blockquote>
