[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9193739, member: 23751"] Why are PCs not all identical in all ways. As soon as you make an elf and I make a dwarf, we have imbalance. As soon as your elf becomes a fighter and my dwarf a rogue, we have more imbalance. Class and race abilities are not perfectly balanced. Some are better than others. Once you introduce level you have even more imbalance as you get more and more abilities that are not in perfect balance. Same with treasure. Your fighter finds a +2 sword and my rogue finds a +1 short sword and cloak of displacement. The game is not balanced. It never has been and never will be. Because the imbalance(variations) are what make it fun. Stats are just another area where you have variations that make it fun. Hell, even using an array isn't going to guarantee that two elven rogues are going to be balanced. Stat placement, unless identical in all six stats, will create a very minor bit of imbalance.
