[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7134931, member: 6716779"] One thing we also used in 3.5 with rolled stats is all the PCs roll characters, they chose to dump one, DM dumps another and of the remaining ones they can choose what stat array to use. Or the DM rolls 4 PCs and the players can chose what ones they want to use. That takes care of the drastic difference in rolled stats. If I have a small party I am a lot more generous in terms of allowing rerolls etc. 4+ players you keep what you roll +unless you roll really bad. Out of 5 PCs we had 1 get a natural 18, another one rolled quit well (2 scores over 16) and the other 3 got something fairly close to 31 point buy (2 15s, all scores higher than 10 or 12). The player who got the 18 took a cleric so its kind of a reward for taking one for the team. That player was also new as well and is rocking a nature cleric with shilleagh. With racial mods + resilient I think the Bladedancer might be rocking 3 18s at level 4. I think the fighter rolled the lowest which was a bit higher than the default array. He doesn't mind as he played AD&D and in a previous 5E game he got absurd stats and played a Dwarf UA favoured Soul and rocked. [/QUOTE]
