[QUOTE="DiFier, post: 1299016, member: 2345"] Well if it is that much higher than the other PC's stats maybe find the average of all the PC's stats and anyone lower than the average can get bonus points to get up to the average. I don't think that good rollers should be penalized. but poor rollers will be totally outshined. and that can be disapointing. I generally have poor luck with rolling stats for charachters. of the 4 charachters that I have rolled up in the last 2 years one regular campaign (once a week) a semi regular campaign (twice a week maybe) and two short 2 or three session quickies (I don't have the stats for the one anymore) I have rolled 11, 14, 15, 16, 10, 10, (not a bad starting point. the other PC is better but not by much); 10, 15, 10, 13, 15, 14 (again not bad, except that the other PCs all have at least one outragous stat. quite a few charachters with mulitipule stats of 16 or above) and finally for a one shot. 10, 15, 14, 14, 15, 13 (again not bad, but the other PC's had an 18 and 17 and two 17s. Now I know I shouldn't be complaigning. those are decent stats. a great point to start and they crush the elite array stats. But It really sucks when you are out shined. I like most of the charachters (less so the 2nd one) I kinda wish there was a method where you started with the elite array and then added 1d6 or something not all the PC's stats would be the same but they also wouldn't be all that different either. of course in our regular game the other player and I each create and play the other's cohorts. for her Cohorts I have rolled: 10, 15, 14, 17, 11, 13; & 12, 14, 14, 16, 16, 14.
