We can arrange the stats values here (or maybe we leave them in the order they were rolled since the player can add points later and this will mostly avoid chars like 18 18 18 18 18 9 1). So we would have a total average of 45.5 points here. Lets say: 9 2 12 3 6 3 11 (sum 46) - apply race/class modifiers - give 54 points to spend so we had 99.5 total average, 20 maximum each skill Could give us: 19 17 20 10 11 12 11 (sum 100) Here we could ask for two or three points in order to let the player raise a stat from 19 to 20 so that will be less used (but still 19 is pretty good). My points here are: 1) don't let the stats be totally made up by the player and be sure to make them half random half choosen. This way they wont have to worry too much about rolls cause they can change them later. 2) give the points after we choose class and race so the player will be working on the final stats of his char without worrying about later midifiers beeing applied. Just a thought :-) What do you think? Katia. -- +-----------------------------+ | Karla Mª Stenger Sábat | | Pando . Canelones .
