Message: <blockquote data-quote="tek2way" data-source="post: 3742116" data-attributes="member: 6376">It's at this point that I, as DM, would look at the wizard and paladin, and help them work something out (swapping arrays is one thought -- that's the beauty of playing with friends).Also, not to nitpick,neither array sucks. Neither character would be godly at first, but one thign *I* take into consideration when assigning stats are the stat bumps someone gets  in their progression. In which case, the wizard would have the 18 INT by level 16, and the paladin would have a 14 WIS by level 8 (both in plenty of time to get their full spell ranges), assuming the character wasn't going to multiclass at all. But I digress..In all my years of DMing and playing, I have NEVER seen a situation where, when the dice fell poorly, the DM didn't allow the character to reroll (or do something about it in some way), but again, that's from always playing with friends, so YMMV.My final thought on the subject is simply: People like choices. Nothing's wrong with rolling or point buy. Include them both in the PHB.</blockquote>
