[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3533447, member: 22779"] I believe that it goes much further back than WOTC. :) One of the best things IMO, that's come out lately is the idea that players are in charge of their characters. That playing a character that you don't want to play is a BAD THING. Thus, point buy is becoming far more common, nearly all elements of chargen are in the control of the player (before, spellbooks contained randomly generated spells at 1st level, now, the player picks). About the only thing that isn't is hit points. But I like the gamblers rush too much to give it up. :p I think I'll go with the half+half die for hp's in the next campaign. Makes for more durable PC's and means I don't have to use kids gloves on them. :] [/QUOTE]
