[QUOTE="hammymchamham, post: 428522, member: 4219"] I'm trying to come up with an interesting way to generate stats for my upcomming game. Right now I'm making an NPC who'll be reacurring, and originalyl I was playing around with doing: 9d6 then 8d6 then 7d6 etc down to 4d6... then I thought about doing this into a pool of 39d6, drop the lowest 21. But when I did that my lowest roll was a 4 when I arranged the rolls into 18 numbers. So I came up with this: Roll 2 pools of 15d6 (which is like 5d6 into a pool), drop the lowest 6 from each pool. From each pool, arrange the 9 numbers into 3 sets of 3, those are the stats. My first time doing this I came up with 2 polls of: 1 6 2 6 3 6 4 5 5 5 6 4 7 4 8 4 9 3 1 6 2 6 3 6 4 6 5 5 6 5 7 5 8 4 9 3 Now, I can "max" these into : 18, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11 (+14 wow!)... (yeah yeah I know this is powerful). The 12 I dropped were all 1's and 2's. Now, I don't know if I "beat the odds" with this style. But I really want to do a pool style for charecter generation for the PCs and for major NPC's (I plan on using default array for minor NPC's with some point buy involved).
