[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8458771, member: 29398"] Heh - in a gonzo New Years' game a while back the stat generation method went as follows: You started with 11 in each stat. The DM then went to each player in turn with a bag of runestones she'd made and asked the player to pull out six of them in succession. The colour and marking on the rune dictated what was to be done to the stat for which it was pulled; with the colour representing plus or minus and the marking representing a number (and I think one of the markings signified "choose" or "infinite"; it was a gonzo game, after all). I have never seen such whacked-out stats in my life! One character's array started at something like 14-9-9-5-5-5 while another's started with, I think, 18-18-18-x-x-x where x is a number I don't recall now. Needless to say perhaps, but the character with the three 5s (which went into Str, Wis and Con) stole the show! We still laugh about that thing today, and none of us will ever look at peanut butter and gunpowder the same again. :) [/QUOTE]
