[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 7182842, member: 813"] Actually, I found an interesting ambiguity in the rules. Looking at the javascript at various die rolling sites, "4d6 drop lowest, reroll 1s" can mean any of the following (and I did find the 1st, 2nd, and 4th methods out there on the web): [list] [*]Roll 4d6, discard the lowest die, pick out any die showing a 1 and reroll those dice once [*]Roll 4d6, pick out any die showing a 1 and reroll those dice once, discard the lowest die [*]Roll 4d6, discard the lowest die, reroll any die showing a 1 until there are no more 1s (this one is the least logical to me. if no die should ever result in a 1, discarding the lowest die should not go first) [*]Roll 4d6, reroll any die showing a 1 until there are no more 1s, discard the lowest die (this is equivalent to Roll 4d5, discard lowest die, add 3) [/list] In the OP, stats are rolled "4d6b3 reroll all ones". This implies #3 above since the b3 happens before the reroll part but I suspect #4 above was the assumption since the word "all" is included. I like the 4th one because it can be entered into the coyote code die roller for verification as 4D5.HIGH(3)+3. I know it looks like I'm over thinking this, but I'm also bumping the thread to the top of the forum by posting. And bumping the thread is my primary purpose here. :) Now I shall wait until tomorrow to perhaps actually roll the dice and post them. Then Tuesday I'll come up with a name for the character. Assign stats to ability scores on Wednesday. Draw it out until maybe there's a second player. :( [/QUOTE]
