[QUOTE="pdzoch, post: 6877724, member: 80982"] According to the old D&D 3.5 rules, stats are allowed to be rerolled. "If your scores are too low, you may scrap them and roll all six scores again." Of course, it also defines "too low": "Your scores are considered too low if the sum of your modifiers (before adjustments because of race) is 0 or lower, or if your highest score is 13 or lower." I am sure this rule or option has been carried throughout other editions and games by players and game masters. I once read somewhere, and I wish I could find it again for this post, that ditching the low rolled stats was acceptable because the characters are supposed to be heroes and the average person (low rolls, or a REALLY bad roll in one stat) might not have taken up the call to adventure. I do not mind a character with a couple or high stats, are even a collection of really good stats, but when I see more than one great stat, I do become suspicious. My rule with rolled stats is I have to see the rolls. Otherwise, it is point buy or array. Personally, I do not mind a bad roll or two. I think it makes for a fun (or at least, interesting) character to play. [/QUOTE]
