[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8568370, member: 6790260"] I mean, you can say "boo" all you like, it doesn't change the fact that these things are unpopular, nor that you can achieve many of the same goals with different methods. Besides, if we make each race have a distinct pair of attribute bonus options, you're still getting 15 distinct races, same as the number of subraces in the 5e PHB (counting human and variant human as two subraces). Humans in 13A get a +2 to any stat of their choice, so that adds a 16th option. Believe it or not, your estimate is actually really really close to the theoretical expected value! Up to three significant figures, the probability estimate I have for rolling "more odd than even" (assuming every roll is at least 9) is 0.272, meaning one-in-four is definitely the closest small fraction approximation. (If you allow 7s it bumps up to 0.324, damn close to one in three; if you allow any odd value all the way down to 3s, it very slightly overshoots one in three, at 0.339). [/QUOTE]
