I played many campaigns using the ironman 3d6 in order take what you get for attributes. Those were some of the funnest games ever.But 3.x D&D is supposed to be about expanding the options for characters. However, the standard point buy recommended in the book only gives you options at character creation for what pidgeonhole you want your character to fill. Once that choice is made, the options for the character to develope within the course of the game are severely limited.Granted the options open up when you factor in higher point buy totals. But the newbie coming into the game only has the book for a guideline, unless he's lucky enough to be joining an existing group that has already discovered some of the pitfalls and when to alter what the book says.</blockquote>
