[QUOTE="Abisashi, post: 4647935, member: 15334"] I wrote a perl script to do this. It would be good if someone else also wrote a program so we could compare the results and make sure they are reasonably close. "Population" refers to the entire population. "Hero" refers to people with total stat mods >= -2 and highest ability score >= 12. "Awesome" refers to people with a point buy of at least 25 and a highest ability score of at least 15. Blank lines mean there were 0 people for that result. Population size: 4 million.
