I prefer die rolling as a Player and as a DM, but maybe thats just me being strange. I (when I have time) also generate some significant NPCs by die rolling, rather than using standard arrays or PB>My objection to PB systems is the tendency for similar character ability spreads for a class/race, lack of the element of chance (for good or ill). I can understand using modified die rolling systems than 4d6DL, e.g. 2d6+6 (range 8-18, avg 13) or 2d6+1d4+2 (range 5-18, avg 11.5), which drastically reduce the odds of a character having useless abilities, especially on say 2d6+6 or 3d4+6.Money - always random, though I am starting to toy with the idea of using starting kits, but its trickiest with fighters and paladins whose weapons and armour are most important.</blockquote>
