[QUOTE="Telas, post: 2184053, member: 20934"] So, if you were rolling 4d6 for a character, what would you get? To be sure, let's do this four times (archetypal party size). Four sets of numbers, in no particular order, using 4d6 drop lowest. I'm using the online roller at: [url]http://www.openroleplaying.org/tools/dieroller/index.cgi[/url] 10, 12, 8, 14, 12, 14 - 22 points 9, 16, 14, 11, 15, 14 - 34 points 16, 13, 17, 15, 16, 11 - 49 points 15, 13, 11, 12, 14, 15 - 34 points Average point cost of 34.75, if we were to buy these stats. So, who gets the 49 point guy? Those are Paladin stats, for sure. Better question: who gets to try to build a Monk out of the 22 pointer? Now, I did this partly to see if I could get a decent Paladin out of it (and I did, but it took 2-3 tries), but the average point cost really got my attention. Four isn't a large enough sample size, but if that's indicative of 4d6dl, then comparing it to a 25 point character is apples-to-oranges in my book. Telas [/QUOTE]
