More relevant to the topic, I feel it important to point out that while rolling techically has more possibilities, many of them are either unplayable or absurdly broken and should not be considered valid options. As fun as it is to envision all 18s, I sincerely doubt any DM would allow that character to ever see play at a table, and frankly anything that doesn't have at least one 12 (arguably 14) shouldn't even be viewed as a valid option to roll.I heavily reccomend for those seeking to roll characters at a table, rather than just 3d6 or 4d6 drop one, you just do "2d6 (or 3d6) + 6" for scores. Or if you want a game where a 6 is a valid roll, use +4 instead.</blockquote>
