I am the same way as a DM. We roll dice, and the first night of the campaign is always an introductory session where everyone rolls up characters and assembles a group. I am lucky, I have been gaming with the same bunch for roughly 15 years or so, and all dice rolls for character creation are out in the open, where everyone can see them. No one is allowed to create a character at home and show up with it. Part of the reason my group does this, no matter which one of us is DMing, is that they like to be creative, no matter what the rolls are. For us, it is as much about hanging out with the little time that our hectic schedules allow, plus being creative with what is dealt. We tried Point Buy once, and all 8 of us decided we didn't like it. I guess we're an anomaly.</p></blockquote><p></p>
