It's like someone wants to use point buy, but doesn't want to admit he's using it: You're rolling dice. If they are too low, you roll again. If they are too high, you roll again, too. If they are within a certain range (total bonuses or PB cost, whatever), you keep them. Why even bother? Unless you really like to roll d6, you can save your time by using point buy. Hell, even if you do like to roll d6, use PB and play a wizard or rogue. If you want some variation in the total points the character has, roll 1d4 or 1d6, or just use a couple of points less than you get.But since everyone seems to use the 25d6 Method to test a character, I'm going to do that, tooStr 3d6:6,1,3 = 10Dex 5d6:6,4,6,1,3 = 16Con 4d6:5,3,2,1 = 10Int 5d6: 4,2,2,2,1 = 8Wis 3d6:5,1,4 = 10Cha 5d6: 6,5,2,2,3 = 14Total Bonus: +4, PB Cost: 22, Conclusion: Wouldn't have fun playing it. I can't Imagine playing a dumb rogue. Rogues have to be smart to survive in the streets. So I'd reroll.....</blockquote>
