That is far greater a dictation than telling you what sex to play and you accept that standard, don't you?When I DM I allow players to determine everything about their characters, including stats, as long as everything is within racial min/max. It is their character and should be one that they will be happy to play. Not screwed up by a bad stat roll or two. Or limited by point buys.People play this game to have fun, not be controlled by every last rule, especially arbitrary rules such as stat generation. This is what i would do, assuming his e-mail response is not favorable, tell him to trust you to play your character the way you want or this new game isn't worth your time, since the whole point of it was to let you have fun "role-playing" a character you could enjoy.One final criteria, that you feel you could not possibly have fun playing under this one additional arbitrary rule of same-gender role-play.Otherwise, get over it, play, and have fun, unless you discover he is a less than competent DM.</blockquote>
