[QUOTE="Majere, post: 1125637, member: 13916"] Our groups has tried just about everything, and in general we prefer rolling dice. Methods we have used include : 5d6 pick best 3, 6 times 4d6 pick best 3, 7 times pick best 6 3d6 9 times, pick best 6 3d6 8 times, pick best 7 use one as a "poll to add to the other 6 on a 1 for 1 basis 4d6 pick best 3, "As they lie" 32 point buy 35 point buy 2d6+6 6 times The general consensus is this: Point buy aside all stats are rolled as a group The DM has the right to say you are a munchkin and make you reroll becaus eyou will die before you finish writing your background. If you roll an uber character the rest of the group will generally mock you and proceed to porray him as a dork so we all feel better about it :) We prfer a bit of fun and a heroic feel, sure you can write a campeign for a bunch of characters with only 10s 11s and 12s, but the challenges are lmited by the parties ability, so why not have a bit more fun and make them more able so you can give them more challenges [/QUOTE]
