[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 7550308, member: 30438"] I always keep a pile of pregens on me (When I’m gaming, that is. It’s not like I walk around clutching a folder of pregenerated characters at all times). Character creation in 5e is pretty fast, if you go with the, hrm, “prix fixe” options rather than a la carte. But that’s if you’re going with 1st level characters. Anything higher and it becomes more complicated. As for Standard Array vs just rolling the dice, I don’t see either as being faster or slower. It takes time to roll and write down your stats. SA, you pretty much know where your highest and lowest are ending up, based on the class you want to play, it’s just the in-between stuff that takes thought. And honestly, as a DM, if someone comes up to me saying they rolled their stats, if they’re not rocking at least two single digit stats and nothing higher than a 14, chances are I’m not going to buy that they rolled them honestly.
