That mechanic does not eliminate low scores; it eliminates low sets!Those non-low sets can certainly have low individual ability scores, and the creativity you mention is served just as well than without the discard rule; even better in my opinion since it is easier to have a coherent character with one or a few disadvantages than it is for many or all low scores.The discard mechanic (which is the official way to roll stats in 3E BTW) eliminates unplayably low sets while still allowing low individual scores to get your role-playing teeth into.(The 'entitlement' and 'slippery slope' arguments are bogus, BTW.)</blockquote>
