Dracomeander said:And there is the 'cookie cutter' array I was talking about. 95% of the people I know would assign their attributes that way for a paladin no matter what their concept was as that is the most efficient way to do it for the mechanics of the game. The variances I see are in how the personalities are potrayed in the course of the campaign not in how the attributes are distributed.
Outside the RPGA (and let's not include them in munchkin discussions, please), I don't know anyone who does point-buy at less than 28. Most are 32 point systems.
Even striving for maximum effectiveness, I can find multiple ways of building a PC with a decent point-buy.
Does anyone remember AD&D, when it was nearly impossible to roll up a Paladin, even with 4d6dl? That 17 Cha was a real PITA.
