[QUOTE="Erik Westmarch, post: 6883814, member: 6815948"] I did have a system I used for 3E that I thought was a pretty fun compromise between rolling dice and point buy. It's dealing cards. Give players cards. You can do 18 cards of 1-6, 12 cards of 2-9, or something else. Whatever you want, as long as the highest result of dealing either 2 or 3 cars sums up to 18. Then deal the cards to your stats, in order. This way the stats are sort of random, but also no one has better or worse results than anyone else. You'll either get a bunch of average stats or a mix of high and low ones. I'd also allow you to switch any two results, once. So if you really wanted to play a certain class you could swap the highest roll into your primary stat. But other than that you had to take what you got from the in-order deal. I liked it as a DM because it forced people to play PCs they wouldn't have "designed", but ended up being fun. [/QUOTE]
