[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8198651, member: 6801228"] And yet the person I asked [USER=6802378]@LuisCarlos17f[/USER] said, to quote, "Can you create a halfling with Str 17? yes, and also a wizard with Str17, but that is not the game spirit." So, a halfling with a 17 strength, according to them, is not in the spirit of the game. So, if that is there belief, and they have no stated that they would not forbid a player who rolled an 18 from making an 18 strength halfling, can you really state with certainty that no one would forbid it? I mean, I love the discussion of everyone telling me that of course rolling allows for these sorts of shenangins, but with rolling being the official default method, how are we to say that 17/18 strength halflings are against the spirit of the game, when they are quite explicitly allowed?
