Many PCs of the same class have virtually identical stats. zzzzzzzI'd never use standard array, but I wouldn't stop anyone else from using it if they wanted.It was always a legal method in the rules and people used it. By definition, that makes it as valid as any other legal method in the rules.It all depends on the type of people playing the game. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean that it doesn't work for other people.For every time that most players roll terrible on the ability score dice, they also roll great. There's a certain thrill to rolling awesome on the dice and even when the dice rolls are bad, DMs often have house rules that the player is allowed to do it a second or third time. Or a house rule that the player can trade lousy rolls for point buy or standard array.Think outside of the box. That's what the WotC designers should do. There is a large audience of players out there and WotC should not come up with designs that are solely focused on small segments of players that think in a certain narrow and uncompromising way.</blockquote>
