That is, my stats will, nearly without fail, be either so garbage even the GM will be like "...okay yeah please reroll that", or they will be so stupidly good that at least one other player's envy is likely. I don't get "average" stats. I get either rank garbage or solid gold. It's quite tedious, because what I want is "good and eminently reasonable", but I almost never get it.It's why I refer to rolling for stats as "ability roulette". I have no interest in playing a game where my skill is utterly irrelevant because a couple of dice said "HAHAHAHA F@#$ YOU!!!" six months ago. The primary thing that determines success or failure should be player skill. That doesn't mean luck has no place--it means that luck should not be so overwhelming that it turns skill into "well it didn't really matter". When my participation doesn't actually change the outcome, I am a mere witness, not a participant.</blockquote>
