Ah, there it is "9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 18"This is a real array, rolled digitally on Roll20 that a fellow player posted... Dischord log says Saturday February 29th, 2020 at  3:27 pm. Would you tell this player that if they wanted to play a halfling, they were forbidden from putting those 18's in strength and Con, because that goes against the spirit of the game? What about Wisdom, is that acceptable to the spirit of the Game? Thing is, DnD is a game with a lot of different rules. "Rolling for stats" is one, but even that has dozen of sub-versions. 3d64d6 drop the lowest2d6+63d6+65d44d4+4Roll six sets of 4d6 drop the lowest, put them in a matrix grid and grab any line from that gridAll of these have the potential for a 16 or higher strength in a halfling, or intelligence in an orc, or charisma in a dwarf. And while no one is sitting here saying that if the player who rolled those two 18's made a halfling rogue and put it into dex for a 20 dex is doing anything wrong, we do have people here who are saying that if you play with the standard array and want to put a 14 into strength and bump it to a 16, you are defeating the entire purpose of the game.</blockquote>
