[QUOTE="Graf, post: 374877, member: 3087"] MY system somewhat similar: everyone rolls they can keep their roll or take hit points instead based on the following chart. d10 8 d8 6 d6 5 d4 3 same thing for attributes. roll and keep it or use 32 points. People love to roll and love the idea of getting a good thing. They feel just as special when the fighter rolls a 10 for hit points but it doesn't become a giant pain in the ass. This is actually the first time I've heard this one. Its also the first interesting explaination (vs. the usual which mostly seems to be driven by some sort of weird fear on the part of the DM that having durable PCs harms the game....) No offense meant but I never understood that "I'm a tough guy!" sort of stuff that comes into this. The only real effect it has is to make unimportant things into spitting matches. I've only got so much spit. (hmmm. that didn't come out right) [/QUOTE]
