[QUOTE="Lalato, post: 6329432, member: 9171"] For the record, I don't have a problem with rolling stats or point buy. I also don't have a problem with 4d6 drop the lowest. Or rolling the 3x3 grid (which is actually a pretty interesting variant). Or re-rolling 1s and 2s. Whatever method you choose, have fun with it. What I find odd is continually re-rolling characters and then picking the best set. I realize that modern dice rolling programs allow you to do it easily. But let's say after you roll your half dozen or more sets of stats, you still find them wanting? What next? Just keep re-rolling? At what point does it just make more sense to make your stats up? This is less about min-maxing than it is about creating the exact character you want to play. I guess what I really want to know is what's the point of rolling your stats if you're not willing to live with the results (even after several re-rolls)? I would think that if you can't create the exact character you want with point buy, then you need to consult with the DM... and just get the stats you want. [/QUOTE]
