[QUOTE="TheLoneRanger1979, post: 6872347, member: 6804148"] I understand that, that is why i mentioned it can be difficult even for parties/tables that have a long mileage together. But if the DM has a very concrete idea about a story and the characters that will drive it, then why not.... i'd let him/her create my PC. Or rather create the available PCs that we can all use depending on our preferences. But this is also difficult for the players as well, as not everyone can RP any character. As for the "randomization" of each character..... i guess it could work even withing the bounds of story oriented concepts. Like having the basic ability scores roughly set (i.e. the story requires one very charismatic bard of 14-16 CHA) and then flesh him out with some dice rolling. In my case, it would depend greatly on the concept i'd chose. Being a fan of the 1E and 2E MAD driven classes, i'd often (try) to run with 3-4 adequate or above adequate scores and 2 or better yet 1 "dump" stats. But that is just my general preference, that i mostly practice during out longer campaigns. In one-offs or short adventures i would go anything that feel interesting to play. Even though i am yet to try roll in order character (no chance of that at my current table). [/QUOTE]
