[QUOTE="billd91, post: 7984468, member: 3400"] I still make my players roll in the D&D games I run. I like it as a player because I like to discover my character rather than always fall into the same patterns with point buy - so I make my players discover their characters as well. And if that means they have to reconsider something - so be it. With the latest PF campaign I'm running, I did have the players all roll and then we recorded everyone's results and gave everyone the choice of picking which rolled array to take. It has been an interesting experiment and I'll probably try it again. You don't have to deal with players whining about one being luckier than another because they all could have chosen the array they personally thought was best. And the array generated isn't bought by trading points back and forth between stats so nothing has been dumped to boost something higher and the familiar patterns of point buy may not appear.
