[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8071263, member: 7015698"] So what if, instead of one standard array, you have had six sample array? The six array would be built using the point buy system and would be presented 'in order', and right from there you'd have a ton of choice for your level of randomness: -Pick whatever array you want and apply it any order -Pick whatever array you want and apply it in its original order -Roll for your array and apply it in any order -Roll for you array and apply it in its original order And even crazier: -Roll a d6 six times, picking your stat, in order from the different array (say you get the STR from array 1, your DEX from array 2, etc) -Roll 2d6 and use a coordinate system to pick your stats in order! Each array could have its highest stat be a different ability too, since there's six ability scores.. I think it'd be interesting. and then you present the classic roll for stat and point buy systems. Something like: [B]15 STR[/B] 12 DEX 14 CON 13 INT 09 WIS 09 CHA 08 STR [B]15 DEX[/B] 10 CON 14 INT 10 WIS 14 CHA 12 STR 12 DEX [B]14 CON[/B] 12 INT 12 WIS 12 CHA 13 STR 14 DEX 12 CON [B]15 INT[/B] 10 WIS 08 CHA 14 STR 10 DEX 11 CON 09 INT [B]15 WIS[/B] 13 CHA 08 STR 13 DEX 13 CON 11 INT 13 WIS [B]15 CHA[/B] [/QUOTE]
