You were the one saying such a big difference was virtually impossible.  In addition, a lot of people have stated on this thread that "you roll what you roll" and "it's fair because everybody has the same chance".  When I disagree, I get arguments of what "fair" is.*I keep having to correct that for you.But I'm also not sure what exactly you keep harping on.  There may have been a point at one time, but I've lost it.  My opinion?  I view these things as relative.  If everybody on the team has similar stats, the actual numbers don't matter as much although I prefer standard/lower average numbers.  However, if someone is succeeding on attacks 10-20% more often while doing more damage when they do hit, having 50-100% (or more) HP, making saving throws 10-50% more often ... well the numbers start to add up.A +/-1 here and there doesn't make a huge difference.  A consistent +/-2 to +/-4 across the board that I see when I do analysis does. Those were the words you used as far as I remember.  If I'm wrong I apologize.</blockquote>
