[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4418018, member: 3087"] This is a poll about ability score generation method used to create player characters. PLEASE NOTE: VOTES FOR EACH METHOD WILL BE [COLOR=Blue][B]TOTALED [/B][/COLOR]BEFORE LOOKING WITHIN THE SEGEMENT [B]UNLESS YOU SAY OTHERWISE[/B] (in other words all votes for method 1 will be counted, and all votes for method 2, and so forth and then votes will be decided within that segment). So if you want Standard Array, but if it's point buy you want 20 point? Vote for standard and put point buy # request in your post. If you want Standard but would prefer point buy over the other array options? Vote for standard and put that request in your post. You can only vote once in each area (i.e. for Method 1, 2, 3 or X AND once within it so if it's method 3 you can only vote for one sort of rolling method, method 2 only one point buy total, etc) [d]--][/d] Please refer to PhB pg 17-18 for details on how these work. [d]--][/d] Method 1: Standard Array ... Two Mountains Array (17 17 13 10 10 8)[INDENT]would be 25 points under method two [/INDENT]... "An 18!" Array (18 16 12 11 9 8)[INDENT]would be 25 points under method two [/INDENT]... Balanced Array (15 15 15 12 11 11)[INDENT]would be 25 points under method two [/INDENT]... Choose among the arrays above in same range ... Other ______ Method 2: Customizing Scores (AKA Point Buy) 20 points ... 22 points ... 24 points ... 25 points ... 28 points ... 32 points[INDENT][I]P.S. God called. His representative is hoping you'll be kind enough to meet him Upper Quarter of Sigil, say 3pm tomorrow? Something about wanting to sign a non-aggression pact while you're still too low level to assault him on his home dimension.
