[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 6034748, member: 6701124"] Typos or a different edition? In 1e the fighter starts with one higher to hit than the 0-level. And the minimum stat for the "general character" NPC is a 6 (for three 2's). Anyway, the average from the modified 3d6 is the same as the usual 3d6 (10.5) and is about 1.75 below the 4d6-1. The median score profile for the 4d6-1 is 16/14/13/12/10/9. For the modified 3d6 it is 13/12/11/10/9/8. Using 4d6-1, the PC will have an 80.4% chance of having at least one stat of 15 or higher, including a 42.2% chance of at least two 15 or highers. The PCs chance of having at least four fifteens is higher than the NPCs chance of having at least one fifteen (around 2.86% vs. 2.76%). And, of course the PC gets to put those scores in order. {I need to be quicker... started typing the above before [MENTION=11821]Obryn[/MENTION]'s post on the middle of the last page :-) } [/QUOTE]
