Call them the new max, and you might understand why I'd prefer it: I have found that when it comes to ability score, when I was rolling I always felt like anything less than a 18 at first level meant my character wasn't as strong in that stat as he easily could have been. Now, since my group switched to using the Standard Array, The best I could possibly get at 1st level a is 17. And practically speaking, a 16 is the same thing - which means I'm actually comfortably putting that 15 in my prime ability and selecting a race that doesn't boost it up, since a 15 is just shy of 16.I have actually become less concerned about higher numbers with a lower new max. I'm simply not trying to get a 20 anymore - even at higher levels - even though tyat 20 was important to me back when we rolled.And I saw the same change in when we stopped rolling hp and just took the average - since the best my fight can get at each level was 6, I have never cared that I could have more.</blockquote>
