[QUOTE="FarBeyondC, post: 7070120, member: 6803170"] You wanted it more than the other options available. [I]Point-buy[/I] forces you to choose nothing. You, adhering to whatever standards it is that guides your character creation process, forces yourself to choose. I'm of the opinion that this- -has an obvious, understood "Within of the bounds of what point buy allows for, of course" clause. Which is to say, within the bounds of what point buy allows for, you can control what character you are playing. If you're trying to play a character that requires stats not possible for point buy to create, you're SOL. If you try to enter a game where its known that point buy is the only stat generation option, and you try to play character whose stats are outside point buy's bounds... No. You have the ability to play whatever you want to play that falls within the bounds set by the character generation method used. Unless your DM is exceedingly generous- or just doesn't care- there is no way to be guaranteed to be able to play whatever you want without any form of limitation. Based off what criteria? [/QUOTE]
