All classes get a lot of hit points, and most characters get big Constitution bonuses.I think at least making the players roll for the six scores that they can assign as they wish is a small step towards helping establishing a mindset that the campaign is not all around their tailor made dream characters, but adapting to what the PCs encounter and managing to deal with what they got.A good campaign should be about people finding themselves in non-ideal situations that they rather would not have to deal with. The PCs not being perfect and exactly what the players would wish to have if they had complete control is an important part of that. (Giving them magic items that can be useful, but are not universally fantastic is another thing where the GM can push the players to learn to adapt to adversity.)</blockquote>
