[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8371931, member: 22779"] What I really don't quite get, when people talk about liking random chargen, is why? Why does it make the game more fun to have a single die roll determine so much about how you will engage in the game for the next year or more? We certainly don't allow that in any other aspect of the game. You even get multiple death saves now. Save or Die has largely been replaced with multiple saves. And, even if your character does die, there are many in game resources that can be leveraged to bring you back. So, why do we expect a single (or well six I guess) die rolls to be given such a high status in the game? Nothing else in the game works this way. Yes, I know that originally, we expected die rolled characters. But, then again, those characters were meant to have a shelf life of mayflies and, the base expectation was that you would play multiple characters. That's not true anymore at most tables. [/QUOTE]
