[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 967647, member: 1264"] Time to post my three variant methods yet again. Al of these combine some of the better aspects of rolling and point-buy: - Remove all but the 1-6 cards from a deck of cards. Deal 6 stacks of 4 cards, remove lowest card from each stack and assign as desired. Don't remember who came up with this one, might have been an early version of KDLadage's method. It's simpler, and has similar stat distribution as 4d6, but tends to be much better balanced. - Roll only 3 stats using your favorite method. The remaining three are equal to 25 (or more) minus the first three (max 18). Probably the fastest method out there. For every even stat you also get an odd one, and for every high stat you also get a low one. - Roll stats and calulate point buy value. If higher than a predetermined value, reduce some stats to match it. If too low, increase some stats. (If the total is too high, you are [i]only[/i] allowed to decrease stats, and vice versa.)
