Obviously this system has an advantage built in it toward rolling, on the bell curve of possiblities all of the low range (below 66) are rerolls, and all of the high range (above 88) allow the best possible scores.  The goal is to keep all characters in a certian range of starting stats without having grossly advantaged/disadvantaged characters.If any of what I just said made sense I would love to see what you think!</blockquote>
