I really should clarify my postion I don't object to point buy per say I object to being pigeon holded into a bland 28 point buy character all the time. It is not that I need high stats and I have glady played a rolled 28 point character (my actual favorite character of all time was 27 point sorcerer) and had fun but I don't want to play this type of character in every game. When I DM I have players roll and if they hate their rolls I give them a point buy equivlent to the medium range of everyone else and if that does not work (which has not happened yet) then I would sit down and work it out so that they would have the character they want to play. It is a game and it is supposed tobe fun not frustrating.As a matter of fact in my current hellenic game I wanted players to be like Hercules and Xena real strong heroes of legend so I gave them 38 points to start with the option to roll to see if they could get higher but if they didn't they still got the 38 points.</blockquote>
