Worst Stat Rolls You Have Seen

[Darklone]

We do it the following way:
6 times 3d6 for attributes
3 d6 which can replace single dice results from the 6 attribute scores.
After the player rolled his first char, he can decide to keep the stats, roll again or use point buy 28.

The guy in the short story in my sig, Shelri, was a replacement character after the player sacrificed his first well liked, successful and nice character to save the group.

As a reward and to lessen the shock for him, I allowed him to choose twice whether he would reroll or use point buy (and I allowed him a weird race/class combo).

He rolled twice... highest attribute was IIRC one 12. The third time he managed to get one 16 and a 14... combined with the forestgnomes attribute bonuses, the character was halfways on par with a 32 point buy build.

I once saw someone roll a set of stats using 4d6-drop-the-lowest and get nothing above a 9. All stats were in single digits. The player was very distressed but was going to play the character anyway. I let him reroll and insisted he use a different set of d6s. The rerolls were much better.

You would really expect the rolls to be better though. The second set of dice I gave him were real d6s with sides printed 1-6 instead of d3s with the sides printed 1-3 twice...

Now that's just mean!
