[QUOTE="Mort, post: 9073541, member: 762"] Allowing someone to roll in no way guarantees better stats. Especially when the concern, as with the monk, is that you need more high stats. All rolling will do is introduce more swinginess, likely exactly what you don't want. If you want to give the players better stats, just do a higher point buy such as 32 points (all other point buy rules apply).

Not that, that solves the monk's biggest issue. All of the stuff that allows the monk to do cool things is fueled by Ki, and they run out FAST. Too fast at low levels.
