[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7145560, member: 29398"] The odds of that kind of spread happening within the same party (one character all 16+, another all 8-) are so extreme that if you ever see it, get thee hence to your local lottery retailer ASAP because you're on a serious roll! I had a guy in my game who'd been playing 1e or variants since nearly forever. He'd lost yet another character (he was good at this) and decided to bang out another one - and in front of the table to much celebration and cheering rolled 18.00 strength for the first time in his life. That character made it out of his first adventure, but not his second. What did him in was a serious lack of hit points - a true glass cannon, he was. Never mind that in his short career he'd racked up so much debt that the party declared him bankrupt, and sold his corpse to the party's Necromancer! Which leads to: do all of you lot who don't like random stats also de-randomize hit points?
