Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grishnak" data-source="post: 1123155" data-attributes="member: 11932">Not every hero has mr perfect stats. With dice rolling there's more chance of lower stats and that in itself can create rollplay. In previous editions Rastlin was 6 Con or something along those lines, with point buy you'd never ever get someone like that as they'd all be the 'super computer characters' you get. I've played a 6 con wizard rolled and he passed out everytime he identified a magic item which I throughly enjoyed as I did with my 18 int wizard!When we were talking he raised an eyebrow regarding my stats when we were talking about certain things such as skills, saves and to hit. He raised his eyebrow as if to ask me why they were lower than the others in the group and I told him that rolled for stats. Which everyone knows I like, the point buy makes everyone perfect in my eyes which isn't the case. Well it's not a system I'll use ever, I'm afraid to say! Characters are only unplayable when stats total = 0 or highest stat is a 13. I've got countless characters from 2nd & 3rd editions without brilliant stats and played them until the campaign ended or the character died and enjoyed them such as my favourite character of all, my 1st minotaur Grishnak with 20, 16, 10, 9, 9, 8. I had so much fun with the character even with 4 poor stats.I've also had some characters with unbelieveable stats which I also enjoyed playing such as a high level wizard with 18, 17, 17, 16, 15, 14 without magic items.Well the other can be the comments down here  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Sorry though just plain forgot the other option!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Why were they against the point buy out of interest?</blockquote>
