DMs that Ive asked always cite character balance relative to each other, and the lower maximum stat. Player's, in my experience, always cite rolling is fun and/or randomness.What I find odd is what you said above;This is odd to me, because when I offer players point buy vs 3d6, they pick point buy almost every time. So I have this theory that players pick 4d6, over point buy, because it lends itself to higher stats, and the randomness of rolling is just a red herring.So now I offer point buy, 3d6 or free pick. That way it's clear what each person is actually after. And, not surprisingly, 3d6 is almost never the pick. This aligns with my theory, but the sample size of a few dozen players isn't exactly ironclad.It's all interesting to me.</blockquote>
