[QUOTE="Ogre Mage, post: 8253256, member: 3404"] As I recall, 3.X was the edition which made the biggest paradigm shift in terms of gatekeeping. High attribute requirements for certain classes, multiclassing limited to demihumans, class level limits for demihumans -- all that was discarded in 3.X. That was also the was also the first edition where an attribute of 12 was enough for a +1 bonus to the roll. It felt like a breath of fresh air at the time and in the spirit of the OGL era. In the late 1980s (which was still the 1E era), we middle-school D&D players used that 9d6 UA method to roll for attributes. We used 9d6 for our main stats and "only" 5d6-7d6 for other attributes, lol. I remember my multiclass cleric/mage having the following stats -- Strength 15 Dexterity 18 Constitution 18 Intelligence 18 Wisdom 18 Charisma 17 Today this character would be banned from almost all tables while generating massive side-eye. But in those days it was how we rolled. :LOL: [/QUOTE]
