Who moved my Cheese?Personally I do a fixed Str, Con, Dex, Int, Wis, Cha roll of 2d6+6 if the character does not average above 13 points they can roll again once they have a set of numbers they can swap 1 set of numbers (such as Swap Str for Int) and that is the character they get to play.  If they want to do a point buy my point buy system is slightly different.  I am running by memory but I think it is the standard 27 points but each attribute starts at 10 and the chart looks like the following[TABLE="class: grid, width: 100, align: center"][TR][TD="align: center"]Stat[/TD][TD="align: center"]Cost[/TD][/TR][TR][TD="align: center"]8[/TD][TD="align: center"]-1[/TD][/TR][TR][TD="align: center"]9-10[/TD][TD="align: center"][/TD][/TR][TR][TD="align: center"]11[/TD][TD="align: center"]1[/TD][/TR][TR][TD="align: center"]12[/TD][TD="align: center"]3[/TD][/TR][TR][TD="align: center"]13[/TD][TD="align: center"]4[/TD][/TR][TR][TD="align: center"]14[/TD][TD="align: center"]6[/TD][/TR][TR][TD="align: center"]15[/TD][TD="align: center"]7[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]</blockquote>
