The min is the fun part though, you gotta balance out those high stats with lows. One of my favourite characters I’ve played was a sorcerer who was dumb as a brick and thought he was a wizard, since he could cast spells and knew wizards cast spells, therefore he was a wizard
When the That Guy player comes to the table with a character he “rolled at home” with nothing but 16s, 17s, and 18s
That is positively cursed, thank you
Rolled a character for a one-shot (using a bot on Discord) that got 18, 16, 16, 16, 15, 13 once. It felt like cheating.
That being said I really enjoy playing a character with one really bad stat. Like 5 or 6.
You did have that 15 and that 13. To That Guys, that’s an unbearable flaw.
I remember back in the day of playing the original gold box Pools of Radiance - you can build your party of six characters - and it has a stat rolling generation method, where you can just roll over and over until you get stats you like…
BUT… at level 1 you can “customize your character” which lets you just manually assign stats (I think the idea was so that you could re-create your tabletop characters in the game.) - but as a kid we would always just set every stat to 18 with it.
I did the same thing with the Buck Rogers gold box computer games. They were hard enough even with maximum stats.
For the last time, you can not start a level 1 character with 18’s in every attribute!
Of course you can. You just need weighted dice.

thanks, I’ve got to show this to several people
