Realistically speaking point buy isn't as fun as rolling the dice
>>96520258Wrong
>>96520258Rolling dice for character creation is fine as long as you have a system that actually supports it, rather than designers including it as a sacred cow without considering what the range of stats/characters that will result.
>>96520258It's also bullshit to begin with. No one is going to trade off to have multiple negatives. Most end up looking like Standard Array in the end.
>>96520258Depends so heavily on the game and the group you're playing with that your statement is meaningless.
>>96520258In D&D that's true but there are better systems for point buy
>>96520569It's worth noting that even the guys who originally created D&D eventually decided that rolling stats wasn't all that good of a character creation method.
>>96520653Sure but the way the stats are set up in D&D makes point buy super unsatisfying.You basically drop a stat to negative modifiers or suffer from it, while in something like GURPS you will always have enough points for increased stats
