[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8253494, member: 18"] I'm pretty sure they're statistically anomalous, looking at U2. I mean, all four Fighters have STR 17 or 16, all but one has a DEX of at least 15, and a CON of at least 14. Oh I see Tenbar as well but he has 17 STR and 18 CON (he is a Dwarf so two 17s) and only 12 DEX. The vast majority of the characters have 17 or 16 in their primary stat, with a few on 15 and a couple of 18s. Often their secondary stats are decent. I haven't analyzed the numbers, but as you've already pointed out, there's no-one with less than a 7 and the sheer number of 17s in primary stats (most of them being stats you couldn't easy get bonuses to in 1E - STR/INT/WIS) is pretty high, and having rolled countless 4d6DtL statlines in my day, this looks to me like they rolled these up but booted any statline which didn't have at least 1 16 in it, or had any values under 7. I think it's plausible in the same sense that a player who rolls six sets of 4d6DtL stats and then picks the best of them has "plausible" stats for his PC lol. You say there aren't many 17s - glancing at it and trying not to be confused by the HP having similar values I counted 11 17s and 2 18. That seems unlikely on 20 4d6DtL characters. [/QUOTE]
