Forcing equality of outcome would, as you point out, take away any encouragement for anyone to play well.Of course, it could be argued that equality of opportunity applies as much to random rolls as it does to point buy and fixed hit points, since everyone has equal opportunity to roll well or roll poorly. I guess the distinction is that there appears to be little player input to a random roll, and hence, reducing the amount of randomness in the game appeals to players who want their characters' success to depend more on player choices than on luck.</blockquote>
