[QUOTE="eryndel, post: 1117686, member: 13120"] I generally use the 4d6, best 3, arrange as you like. However, I have a somewhat unique way of rolling if I want to run a more high powered game. I truly hate when one person has much higher stats then everyone else but I also hate point-buys. So, this was my solution. High Power stat roll. Start with 4d6 reroll 1's keep top 3, arrange as you like. Each character figures out their total stat bonus (add up the modifiers each stat gives) Find the one with the highest total bonus, each other character gets one point to add to their stats for each point less in total bonus they have compared to the highest. For example, say the highest total bonus is +8. My total bonus is +5. I get three extra point to arrange among my stat line-up. This only works if everyone rolls up their character at the same time. It rarely gives boosts the character to the same total modifier as the lucky one. So the lucky player still has the best stats, but the gap is narrowed somewhat. It makes me happy. (Difficulties arise when new characters are added late. Fortunately, character death isn't all that common in my games, save in the finale.) Werner [/QUOTE]
