[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7137383, member: 6801845"] Ah yes, once again "If you were a better role-player/person you would [I]love[/I] playing the inferior character! Because random is awesome! Don't agree, you must be a loser! Why? Because random is awesome!" Rinse and repeat. Listen, I don't really care all that much. I decided long, long ago to use my own variation of point buy after I was first introduced to it in a Living City campaign. But I still get tired of the backhanded insults. You aren't the worst offender - that would be the guy that flat out stated that "rolling for stats weeds out the bad players". But still. When you go to a standard blockbuster non-comedy action movie, who is the focus of the action? The normal Joes? Nope. It's James Bond, Jason Bourne, Wonder Woman. People who are just plain [I]better[/I] at what they do because they are faster/stronger/smarter than the average person. Those are the people we aspire to be, the icons we want to imitate. Not Joe the Schmuck Janitor. [/QUOTE]
