[QUOTE="Ranes, post: 5585024, member: 4826"] The words 'topic' and 'off' spring to mind. Meanwhile... I remember a player years ago who joined a friend's game. He came to the table with a fighter character that had a Strength of 18/00. The DM asked, sceptically, "Did you really roll that?" "I knew you'd ask," said the player, "so I brought proof." This was in the days when the most advanced PC was of the order of a Commodore PET. The player was attending the local university, however, and sliced time on its VAX computer. He pulled out of his bag a ream of fan-fold computer paper with printouts of thousands of randomly generated 3d6 stat blocks. Circled half way down the last page was the character with 18/00. He had rolled it, sort of. He'd just let the computer roll up enough characters to generate the one result he was looking for. When the laughter died down, the DM let him keep it, because the rest of his stats really weren't that great. [/QUOTE]
