[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9191590, member: 6790260"] Of course, if the GM specifically says what to do, well, that's what we do...though it might also be a respectful "alright, sounds like this game isn't for me" moment depending on what is expected. But when I have even the remotest say in the matter, I take point-buy. 100% of the time. The "samey stats" argument is, IMO, bunk. Of course stats are similar. Characters of a particular class SHOULD be overall similar. Most people who fight with big weapons should be strong, because if they aren't, [I]they don't live very long[/I]. Most Wizards should be very intelligent because middling-Int Wizards [I]reconsider their career[/I]. Etc. It would be like complaining that if you looked at the statistical averages of Olympic gymnasts or PhD mathematicians, clear patterns would emerge. Of course there would be such patterns! You're only looking AFTER they've been sorted, not before. [/QUOTE]
