[QUOTE="Ashkelon, post: 7137117, member: 6774887"] Side note: I really liked the method from Gamma World that was loosely based on 4e.

After your primary and secondary attributes were determined, you would roll 3d6 in order for the remaining attributes. This ensured that you were competent in the areas you were supposed to be but still provided for the "organic" feel of rolling stats.
