Those aren't bad though. Fortunately, the racial stat bonuses should allow any set of stats that meet my qualifications to make an awesome character (you are guaranteed to have at least two 15s and to not have too many low stats)

Ahh, awesome is relative though, so, in this case, you might be awesome to an NPC, but less awesome to your peers, aka, the PC's =)

Heh, well its all relative, of course. Then again, the classes tend to specialise with cool abilities in such a way that everyone helps in a different way, or at least so far.

I do fret over ability scores but only if I think it’s going to be in away of my concept... I do like point buy because it’s easier to achieve most concepts but also cause its “fair” for all the players.

Personally I think RA should take the highest point buy rolled by the players and give everyone that may points to spend.

My beef with Point Buy is that the sameness of a set PB disallows certain concepts straight away if a reasonable PB is selected, and it leaves large amounts of room for min/maxing an uber-character if you give more. Not to suggest that I think anyone here would do that, but by taking from a rolled set of stats, you prevent this from happening. That said, if it gets really out of hand, I could always drop the highest and the lowest character from each game to eliminate outliers and then average the PBs to find the new one or something crazy like that.

I dont really care what the stats are, beyond the rp ramifications: The concepts, from a personality standpoint, that are sacrificed by what the stats mean.

I might have done a mini-whine on the 16 15 15 13 13 12, but there isnt anything wrong with those stats, at all.

K, cuz it is a 40 PB character, after all, and there's really no way I would sanction allowing PB with that many points anyways (too easy to make a character with like 18 16 16 10 10 8 or something)

I've point bought at higher levels than 40. Though I’m unique in that few of my fighter types have 18 strength and my magic users are basically non-existent.

Well, in some ways, if you are willing to accept that you won't have an 18, you can get even more obscene with 40+ PB by avoiding an 18. For instance, 16s across the board except 8 in Intelligence and Charisma

That said, I'm certainly not accusing you of trying to min/max some kind of combat machine
