Normal people become heroes all the time. That said, that's why 1e warned that you should have at least two 15s, and 3e made it a rule that you couldn't have a negative total stats bonus or no stat over 13 without re-rolling. You didn't need to have awesome stats, but you should at least be decent. In any case, people don't choose their exact stats, so no amount of array or point buy will be sufficient for me.
Exactly who do you think is forcing you to use point buy or array?

What are you babbling about now?
You talk as if you are defending yourself against someone trying to force you to use point buy. Just wondering who you thought that was.

Nope. Just having a discussion. I could see where a troll might get that wrong, though.
And back to name calling. Such a classy fellow.

I call it like it is. Start having civil conversations with me instead of drive by trollings and I'll back off. Until then, you get what you ask for.
Classic Maxie - as soon as something doesn't go your way, you divert by going on the attack.

I like rolling more for the element of chaos than any pretense of "realism". Clattering dice on the table and then figuring out how it makes my concept easier or harder is fun.
That said, I always allow players to use the standard Array if they think their rolls look unfun.
