[QUOTE="Miladoon, post: 6721184, member: 6801438"] Please don't post debates about the best way to generate stats and badwronggun. And no thoughts on statistics schmistical stuff, please. I just want to know your current method of generating stats. "...I let them choose, and offer a different way o rolling stats. I like to expose the players early to rules as guidelines. My current option in 5E, is to let them roll pairs of stats six times, in order. Then they choose a high stat from the pair and then they have to choose a low stat from another pair. Example, Green is a high choice, red is a low choice STR 15,[COLOR=#00ff00]16[/COLOR] DEX [COLOR=#ff0000]10[/COLOR],11 CON [COLOR=#00ff00]13[/COLOR],9 INT [COLOR=#ff0000]13[/COLOR],14 WIS 12,[COLOR=#00ff00]17[/COLOR] CHA [COLOR=#ff0000]9[/COLOR],12 So the player would wind up with: STR 16 DEX 10 CON 13 INT 13 WIS 17 CHA 9 ..."
