And going back to correct I posted too often. I guess I should have continued and used the extra option to say something witty... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Right-O, back to exploring the edit functions...****Arrgh stuff it! Okay I'll keep tabs on the score. Here are your 6 options, assuming that we're looking at the character creation process which is obviously the germination phase of the character. Another assumption is that the character is at least semi-heroic, i.e. somewhere not noticably lower than 25pt equivalency. I think it is fair to say that it is harder to run the more heroic campaign on less than 25pt buy following the advice given to me from the dmg. To clarify the following terminology I'm using, 'Rolling' means rolling in a random fashion and generated means the creation is being closely guided. Please be kind to this ad hoc jargon, it's just serving a blunt purpose once - I promise it won't catch on and butcher the language.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Rolling with emphasis on equality of character opportunity = 7</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Rolling with with a bit of generated variables = 1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> I'll pick and choose freely = 0</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Generating with a bit of rolled variables = 1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> Generating with emphasis on equality of character outcome = 9</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> WTH!? Other = 1</li> </ol>****To start off personally I pick 4.9. I don't say 5 because I somehow am fine with the starting purse being random. Ok what's that to do with stats? Well it can influence character creation. Seriously, if a dm pulls a 1st/2nd level one shot I'd create a totally separate character from a longer term one. After all that I guess I'll take it easy on the pollster and give em a nice round number for the round number slot. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Btw this is quite good because it eliminates the lurker option. Sometimes people we need to stand up and be counted!</blockquote>
