[QUOTE="Heathen72, post: 963890, member: 7029"] [b]4d6 best three for me[/b] As a GM I don't care - the player's can do what they want. As a player it's 4d6 best three for me. It's the tradition of it - I wouldn't feel like I was playing Dungeons and Dragons if I wasn't rolling up my characters. And if I roll something really crap my GMs will generally allow a reroll, so I usually find something worthwhile. We aren't all created equal - at least not when it comes to D&D stats - so we have to make the best of what we've got. Some people are marvellously gifted, but often don't make use of those gifts, satisfied to just coast. Other people have only meagre "talents" at their disposal, but their heart and courage do the rest. Which is more heroic? One of my best characters, who I played for years, didn't have a stat above 15. Everyone else had 17s and 18s - some even had bonus psionic abilities - but he still held his own. He was a really gritty character who made the best of the gifts he had been given. In many ways I feel he was my most human character. [/QUOTE]
