[QUOTE="dvvega, post: 2181283, member: 524"] The point is that the average indicates a 12. And it isn't incorrect to do it this way ... it doesn't matter how many times you roll the bones you will get an average of 12 for each stat. The question of: which PB is 4d6 equivalent to is answered from one viewpoint by doing this. In a finite sample space, the average is 12 (12.2 ...). Thus to mimic that sample space the PB of 24 would indeed give you the average. Its a matter of point of view, however. And one thing I forgot to add is that no set of stats with a 7 or lower is acceptable in the space. Why? Because PB cannot give you stats that low. You cannot buy 7s or lower, so the VB code posted earlier is give a skewed result by posting negative PB values. The sample space that should be looked at should only have sets of stats with 8s or more in them. That way you have a sample space that equates both with 4d6 drop lowest and Point Buy. D [/QUOTE]
