I'm ok for now...home alone with sick kids, yay!
Later heading over to a friend's house to roll up a character for the new campaign he'll be running...
He has two die rolling methods, can't decide which to use.
First, organic 4d6: roll 4d6 6 times, arrange IN ORDER. Then you can reroll a single score, and then swap any two scores.
Choice #2: roll 3d6, arrange in any order you choose. Twice during these rolls, you may choose to reroll the low die (whether you reroll the 4 in 6-6-4 or the 2 in 2-2-1 is up to you). In addition to this, you have a second choice: you can either be protected by a re-roll if your modifiers are less than +1 or you have no score better than 13, OR you can, at the end of arranging the scores, replace any score with a 4d6 roll, and then replace any ability with a 5d6 roll (both dropping the low die/low 2 dice). The replacements must be called before you roll them (ie, name the stat), and you get them whether they are better or worse.
