[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 6864868, member: 6801845"] I apologize. I've got some ... stressful ... stuff going on right now and I'm short a couple hours of sleep. Again. However, saying that many people cheat or don't follow RAW when they roll dice is not an insult. It's simply stating the facts. Most people in my experience do not follow RAW when it comes to rolling. Whether it's with the official approval of the DM doesn't really matter much, it's still going from two systems that on average will give you roughly the same results to a system that is numerically superior. Your experience may differ. I like point buy because it starts players out on even footing. In most cases rolling for stats using RAW means some players will have a significant advantage for character build options and better ability scores. As far as the main complaints about point buy that it produces cookie-cutter PCs I haven't experienced that. If anything, point buy guarantees more random builds because you can build weird combos if you want. If you want to randomize characters, roll to see which array you want to use and then roll to see which number from the array goes where. [/QUOTE]
