"Other" for me too; please take a little more time to create poll choices if you want to attach some meaning to the results. Anyway, here's my "other" method; it mixes the randomness of rolling with the similarness* of point buy.*I don't want to say "fairness" because any system can be considered fair, as long as everyone uses it.(a) Roll 3d6 five times.(b) Calculate X = the sum of the attribute modifiers for those 5 rolls.(c) Restart and go back to (a) if X is less than -3.(d) Assign your 6th attribute = 15-X.(e) Order your attributes as you want.(f) Roll d6 twice on the Level Up chart, ignoring HP gain, which will basically give +1 to two random stats.So, if you roll really well for your 5 rolled attributes, your 6th attribute will be average. If you roll average to poorly for your 5 rolled attributes, your 6th stat will be good to outstanding.The above method is a "harsh" method; typical characters will end up with +3, +4, or +5 total attribute modifiers, whereas 25 point buy generates characters with, what, around +10 to +12 total attribute modifiers? However, I'm letting characters gain +1 to any attribute for each level that they go up. But I'm not letting them choose which attribute goes up, it's randomly rolled, but at 4th/8th/12th/16th/20th they do get to choose (just like normal).</blockquote>
