Message: <blockquote data-quote="Faolyn" data-source="post: 8656694" data-attributes="member: 6915329">So I did indeed decide to go through that thread. Here's what I found:Seven people said they used standard array, a modified standard array, or gave multiple arrays for the player's to choose from.Three people said they used either standard array or point buy.One person said they used the Redrick Roller, which is randomized point buy,One person used a method called "stat draft," but I wasn't sure how the numbers were generated for that.One person used a method called "Holy Grail method," which used playing cards in a method described on an interesting looking graphic.One person just used playing cards with no redraws or replacement.One person said that they do 4d6-L, but if the sum of the ability modifiers is under certain numbers, they get a free magic item. Another person said that they do 4d6-L eight times. I don't know if either of them voted "roll" or "other."You said you used a method of 3d6 for two stats, 4d6-L for two stats, and 5d6-2L for two stats. Which is kind of interesting, I admit. I might propose it to my group.There were probably a few I missed--there was a lot of argument and debate in that thread--but I think I found most of them.So, by my reading, there is no "wild card" in that thread that gives a boost to the number of people who roll for stats, whereas there was a small boost to the number of people who use point buy.Edit: AFAICT, nobody said that they used rolling and/or point buy or stat array.</blockquote>
