[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7137683, member: 6803664"] Not this DM. If you choose to roll your stats, you'll play the resulting character. And you'll do so in good faith. In my games each player chooses thier own method of stat generation. They can choose from: ● Standard pt buy. ●Standard Array. ●4d6, drop lowest, arrange as you please. Dice are rolled in front of the other players & DM. The results are recorded. Because we all like to see you win/lose the Stat lotto. That & have you ever noticed that dice always roll super high when nobody but the person rolling them is a witness? Odd, just odd how that happens. Likewise memories become cloudier the smaller the #s rolled.... Fortunately we've found that witnesses & pen/paper counters this memory loss.:) And the reason you'll play the resulting character in good faith? Because you CHOSE to gamble with your stats. You could've played it safe. But you CHOSE this. Sometimes it pays off big. Sometimes it backfires. Most often though you end up pretty close to standard PB/array. I've only had 3 people choose to use PB/array. Me? Outside a PbP game I'll always roll. I just like seeing what character fate assigns me to play. And if I find myself in a game without it? Then I'll make my case to the DM that I most certainly should be allowed to gamble with my stats. Whatever I roll, I'll make an effective & entertaining character. If I roll well & there's someone with stat envy? Wether theyre 15 or 50, they need to grow up . It's not some competition between us. We're both on Team: Kill/loot-Monster. We both get the same xp & equel shares of loot. If I roll poorly? Don't worry about it. I'll be fine & still provide an entertaining & effective character. Or the DM will succeed in killing my PC (despite my best efforts to thwart him) & maybe my next pc will be more to your liking. [/QUOTE]
