[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3774608, member: 10177"] Nope. They don't get dull. All the players are happy too. As it is, "give your PC whatever stats you want" is only one of the options I give them. I also offer 4d6, re-roll all 1's and 2's, so the lowest stat possible is a 9 and tends to give 15's and 16's as the "normal range". Definitely see at least one 18 most of the time. Watched one player roll a character with 4 18's one time. Actually, with all the choices I offer, this method is the one the players choose most often. Still somewhat random, but add in they are allowed to roll up and choose from three sets of stats, they are always happy with what they play with. In fact, in 14 years of offering these methods only one player ever gave themselves their stats, and all 18's. That character was dead by 4th level. In 2E. So given the choice, players haven't chosen all 18's, except that one time, and it was done just to see what it would be like. So I think it is time for the rules to give control of the PC's to the player, finally including stats. [/QUOTE]
