[QUOTE="Amrûnril, post: 6882456, member: 6841183"] I think there's a lot of variation encompassed in the 4th option (4d6 multiple rolls or rerolls). When I read this response, I think of something along the lines of rolling 6 sets of stats and picking your favorite. However, it would also include rerolling in only the most extreme cases (such as a 9 as your highest ability score) or generating whole notebook pages of stat arrays and picking your favorite. Technically, these are both 4d6 with multiple rolls or rerolls, but they have far more in common with 4d6 without rerolls and with assigning stats however you feel like than they do with each other. Personally, I prefer 4d6 with only occasional rerolls (using the 3rd edition rules as rough guidelines), but I wasn't sure whether to vote for the 4th option, which is technically correct, or the 2nd, which I think better reflects the spirit of this method.
