[QUOTE="incognito, post: 344928, member: 7008"] I like to see players start off on equal footing stat wise: It's awful when you have the one PC who ended up with the quivalent of a high point buy, and another pc who is significantly lower. It ruins character spotlighttime often, and does not allow for CHA based classes to be run by the low rolling gent I use two methods: 1) An 80 point, 1 for 1, point buy, with racial penalites meaning the character in question may not put more than a 20/16 that stat. I liek this becaus eit takes soem of the "sting" out of being a 1/2 orc. Problems with it is all the cheaty elves runing around with 16 CON and 14 DEX 2) A new default array: 17, 15, 14, 13, 12, 9 this is actually nice becase no one starts out with an 18, and they have to consider the low score. It't weak in that a character who wants lower, more well rounded scores cannot have them unless he/she chooses a non human race, and the 1/2 orc thing (Admittedly a DM pet peeve). [/QUOTE]
