[QUOTE="GameDoc, post: 6372219, member: 53915"] It kind of depends on whether your DM will let you re-roll the character, and if so, how many times. If the dice are contrary and produce a Character 1 or Character 5 and you have to stick with it, you may be in trouble. I'd be inclined to let a player roll one or two sets of stats and then choose one of those or the standard array. Otherwise at some point you're rolling infinite sets of six scores until you get one you want. But I wouldn't force them to accept a rolled character - they could decide after seeing what they rolled if head rather go with the standard. When I got my PHB, as an exercise in learning the system, I randomly rolled several sets of stats and then a random a race, class, and background for each. Most turned out to be viable characters and the humans were particularly so due to the +1 bonus to all stats. [/QUOTE]
