D&D General How Did You Generate Your Most Recent Character's Stats?

Think back to your last D&D character. Which method did you use to generate ability scores?

  • I rolled them, using the rules as-written or a variant thereof.

    Votes: 17 39.5%
  • I used Point-buy, as-written or some variant of it.

    Votes: 16 37.2%
  • I used a fixed array, either the one in the book or a custom version of it.

    Votes: 10 23.3%
  • I used a pre-generated character.

    Votes: 0 0.0%

Yes, this is my understanding of most people who want to roll stats. They just want to roll, for no discernible reason, but they do not actually want randomness.

No random, only roll!
🤷‍♀️ Not really my business. If that’s how they like to play, more power to them.

Then why this charade? Just let the players to assign whatever scores they want. That is what you're effectively doing, so no point in wasting time and pretending that it is random.

My favorite VtM storyteller did that. You can give your human whatever stats you want...

... and whatever embraces you will balance it out (in terms of generation and support and the like).
