[QUOTE="Shellman, post: 2181673, member: 16067"] My group tends to use the point buy system, although the DM has always allowed us to roll dice and distribute the scores as we see fit to the appropriate attributes. I have played with other players who claim they built there character rolling the 4d6 method and they always ended up with better scores than anyone else in the group. I never did call the guy out on the subject, but I was amazed at how all his attributes were way above average on every character he built. I guess that's why I always use the point buy system unless the DM directs otherwise. I can justify my ability scores in black and white without question. Its natural for everyone to want to build the strongest character they can, but I won't do it at the expense of integrity as a player. My group also tends to play high powered games, so we usually start out at a 32-36 point buy. [/QUOTE]
