[QUOTE="sjmiller, post: 3737131, member: 17262"] I hate the whining I get when someone says, "Oh man, I just need 2 more points to make my dream character!" Or how about, "Why can't we play with 30 points this time instead of 25? That's so limiting!" Point buy character creation brings out just as much, if not more, whining as random rolling. For me, the real reason I do not like a point buy system for D&D is, well, it takes the fun and thrill out of character creation. For me, D&D would not be D&D without that thrill of rolling your stats and seeing what sort of character you can make from it. More often than not when using a point buy system I see people making the same types of characters over and over, never trying anything new or different. To me, that's boring. The other reason I do not like point buy systems for D&D is that I have yet to see one that I like. The ones from 3.x were, well, wonkie, if you ask me. Can I fully explain why? Not really, they just didn't feel right. [/QUOTE]
