[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 7227803, member: 6799649"] What you said (while true) was said in the context of 'what are the objective advantages and disadvantages of various methods'. We understood what you said to be what you believed was an objective advantage of that method for any player that uses that method, yet it turns out that you only meant that it only works that way for you. That's misleading, although I can accept that you never [i]intended[/i] to mislead. I'll illustrate what I mean by simply saying the exact same thing you did, but apply it to the standard array of 15/14/13/12/10/8: "I use the standard array because it lets me create the concept I want". Is this statement true? Well, it can be true in the sense that I can then qualify my statement by stating that every 'concept I want' just happens to be satisfied by some arrangement of those six stats, so I couldn't be proved to be lying. However, in the context of 'what are the benefits and drawbacks of each method', it is [b]not[/b] true that the standard array lets [i]players[/i] play whatever concept [i]they[/i] want! [i]That[/i] is why I took issue with your statement. It was misleading as it seemed, in context, that you were mentioning an objective truth about the benefits of point-buy for any player that uses it. Now that you've made it clear that you were only stating your strangely narrow definition of 'concepts I want', rather than stating an objective advantage of point-buy for all players, then it's all good! Enjoy your trip. :D [/QUOTE]
