You. Must. Get. Rid. Of. That. Earlier. Edition. Mindset. That. You. Need. Several. 18s. To. Be. Decent.

i blame Gary for that. with the introduction of Supplement I Greyhawk. and later it got worse. i still say he wrote the UA for his powergaming scions.

I have 28 PB characters with no stat higher than 14 or 15. Works fine.

read the story hour in my sig. we are using the default 25 pt buy.

actually 10.5 is the avg stat. but the system doesn't allow for 0.5 stats. and they also don't like to give odd stats. so they chose 10.

Actually, the average stat *is* 10.5, as you will notice, the standard array for monsters is 11/11/11/10/10/10, the non-elite array for standard creatures with class levels 13/12/11/10/9/8.

In both cases there is a 10.5 average.

I would consider the Rogue with Int 8 close to unplayable, maybe a nice roleplaying experience, but mechanically absolutely horrible. Min/maxing gone wrong (minimizing one's strengths).

I think it came with the service pack.

There is a reason why NWN is a 30 point buy.

D&D Online will be point buy as well. It's only fair.
