[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7133035, member: 6802604"] The method for ability score generation is a group decision for me and my players. I always push for point-buy, slightly higher than default, but invariably my players out-vote me and we go with 4d6. Now, I cut my teeth on 3d6 in order, and by the time I started DMing 4d6 was basically the go-to method, but I push point-buy because I honestly just want my players to all start out on equal footing. I prefer the point-buy over an array because everyone has the same resources at their disposal but they still get to allocate them as they want... so it's not quite as cookie cutter. Like I said though, my players will always choose to roll. I never understood the allure of the excitement that comes from five minutes of gambling when weighed against having to live with the results for months. But that's why we decide as a group, it's not up to me. There's been a few exceptions, but those are usually when my players want me to make pre-gens... which does happen if you can believe it.
