[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 2956648, member: 2209"] I played in a game (run by Shark) where my character had I think 3 18s, 2 17s and a 16. as a 1st level character (actually ECL 2 with +1 LA aasimar race). I think his method was roll 6d6 for each stat take the best 3 rolls and do this six times for each stat. He changed the method a little later for lower rolls but I chose to keep mine for my noble fencer concept rogue I've played in both high and low stat games and I enjoy them both. When I used rolling character generation in the past as a DM I allowed different official methods (including human rolls from UA and the demi human ones from dragon) but required the rolls be done in front of me at the moment with no second chances. I currently use point buy methods. It depends on the DM, what he will accept. Some say assign your own stats, others say if you made him fairly I trust you, others require rolling in front of them. If your DM accepts him and you want to play a high stat character then by all means talk to your DM about it. [/QUOTE]
