[QUOTE="Sekhmet, post: 5950014, member: 97602"] When I rolled Sekhmet (a 2e Necromancer), she had a 9 Con, a Str of 8, Cha of 7, and Dex 11. Int and Wis were 17 each. My companions weren't saying "Wow, you got two 17's", they were saying "Haha, you got low rolls". Basically, instead of going into the rolling process with a preconceived notion of what you're going to play, you roll your stats and THEN decide what your character will be. I played 3d6 for the first 10ish years of my gaming, and (while it did produce low stats nearly every time), it provided a more average player character over the course of time. I don't like that the 4d6-Lowest method produces characters that are almost always above average. I get it, we're supposed to be heroes. However, most heroes started out form humble beginnings - they weren't always the strongest, they weren't always the fastest, they weren't always the smartest, but their deeds and their experience are what made them fantastic.
