[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 4483401, member: 28487"] On the original question, yes it is doing it for me. I could never see my self running 3.x again. I would play it or pathfinder but not run it. That said I have ran a group that rolled stats for Keep on the Shadowfell and i have not noticed any especial difficulties. Obviously more in the promary helps. In another group that I have run one session, most of the group rolled except one that point buyed. Again the group did ok despite a ranger that in a 7 hour session did not roll over 6 on any attack roll. On the recent comments on roll vs point buy, I like rolling because it give me something to play off since I rarely come prepared with a concept other than race or class. That said, while I have had enromous fun with some sub par characters over the years, they only work in a large party where you have the scope to play their quirks. The thing with sub par charachters is only use them as support cast (if all stats are sub par) if they have a primary good enough for their role (fighter, rogue etc) then make the really good at that and sacrifice all to being good at that but forgoe the rest to character quirks.
