[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8639897, member: 67338"] "those were practice rolls" "that doesn't count" "If you make me use these I'll just make a new character after I suicide or retire this one" even before the BLATENT cheating My group stopped rolling in the end of 3.5. I only 1 time since have gone back to rolling and I didn't roll (I have told this story before) I went to a PF game and was told to roll stats. I sat down had the 4d6 in hand and put them down and just took what every stats I wanted. I went and showed the DM he asked if I had rolled and I was honest, "Nope, just took what I wanted... still going to be lower than your brother and his best friend" he didn't know what to say... a little bit later his young brother showed up and if you put my highest to lowest and his highest to lowest every number on his... when the younger brothers best friend showed he had BETTER stats yet, so the DM let me keep mine. I was the second lowest in 7 players... 1 rolled at table so i know he rolled well. other 5 all swore they just rolled well (all 5 had 1 or more nat 18) over the years I have seen people cheat, people lie, and in general when even players that wont complain about useing the array or point buy and be fine with a 15 high stat find they NEED an 18 when rolling.
