[QUOTE="On Puget Sound, post: 5390023, member: 68988"] The system I used when I played 3e preserved randomness and equality: 1. Roll 4d6, take best 3, 6 times. Keep them in the order rolled for now. 2. Add up your net stat bonuses. We're looking for a net total of +6. 3. If your total is below +6, roll one die for each point you are short. Add 2 points to the stats indicated by the die rolls, or add 1 point if the stat was at 17. For example, if your stat totals are +3, roll 3 dice. If they turn out 4,4,5 then add 4 points to your 4th stat and 2 points to your 5th. If instructed to add to a stat that is already at 18, instead add 2 points to your lowest stat. 4. If, instead, your total is above +6 do the same as above, but subtract 2 points from the indicated stat (or 1 if it is at 4). If instructed to reduce a stat that is already at 3, instead reduce your highest stat. 5. Now assign your six stats as desired and apply racial bonuses. This starts everyone with net +6 in stat bonuses, but with odd distributions to work around. [/QUOTE]
