[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4251157, member: 40961"] I, for one, embrace the array. I've been thinking about it for a while, and have concluded that I really, really like it. I used to be a point-buy kind of guy, but not anymore. I've never felt that ability scores meaningfully impacted my roleplaying, so I don't expect any change there. I do expect there to be a certain degree of uniformity in ability score distributions, at least, within race/class/subclass combinations. That is, I expect that most or all Eladrin Tactical Warlords will distribute their ability scores something like Str 16, Int 14, Cha 13, Con 12, Dex 11, Wis 10. But so what? First of all, Eladrin/Tactical/Warlord is already a pretty narrow category. Second, there are a LOT of other choices to make in character creation besides just ability score distribution. There are feats, trained skills, at will powers, encounter powers, and daily powers. I expect a lot more variation in those. [/QUOTE]
