[QUOTE="akr71, post: 6882842, member: 6801213"] I generally do 4d6 drop the lowest, but the two groups I'm DM'ing right now I allowed 1 roll of 5d6 keep the best 3 and 4d6 drop the lowest for the remaining 5 ability scores. Assign them as you like. Many of the players already had race and class in mind. Many of the players in these two groups had never played before and none of us had played 5e - I wanted them to feel like the characters were heroes and having above average scores helps with that. Edit: Just noticed that you do not have the standard array in the choices. Odd [/QUOTE]
