[QUOTE="Mandragola, post: 6372349, member: 6779173"] I would leave the choice up to players actually. The greatest risk of different power levels comes if everyone rolls, not if only one or two people roll. If everyone rolls you'll probably get someone who rolls well and someone who rolls badly. Giving people the option of using points buy if they prefer, and guaranteeing a character who will be pretty good but not amazing, seems reasonable. Then if people want to take the chance and roll they have the option of taking the risk. Also, if people roll stats that do come out way too good or awful, then you as DM can change them, if it really bothers you or the player. You might say a rolled character's stats have to cost no more than X and no less than Y if they were bought through points buy. In general I think people worry slightly too much about stats. Raising a stat by +2 makes you hit when you would have missed or pass a save you would have failed one time in 20. That isn't such a big deal really. [/QUOTE]
