I've run it before, and it's been fun for shorter games, but for the longer campaigns I tend to play with my friends I find that I end up the foreverGM anyway so I shouldn't even bother. The times I get to play,
the GM or players flake and I'm left with just a pile of wasted character sheets, all their potential gone, and an aching emptiness in my heart.

We don't need to respond to Spoony at this point because he's gone, probably forever.

However, if he were ever to come back and debate the issue with me, I'd cite all the historical evidence showing that, starting very early on, D&D was practically never played with 3d6-in-order.

>>52589498
You can make a good blaster cleric in 3.5 with good dex and 17; rely on laser spells that use dex to hit and wis to cause damage. You can heal, shoot, and cast well, but that's it.

That's all you really need, though. No weak saves, spellcasting, able to hit. You're set.

I want to punch DMs that do this in the dick. Either let your players pick class after stats are rolled or allow point buy/drop the lowest/stat assigning. 3d6 down the line after picking a class risks having characters who can't even function as adventurers.

There was this guy I played with back when I was president of the university's TTRPG club. He always had wonky stats. After a year and a half in club I saw him building a character rolling 3d20.

What he did was roll 3d20 and take the average, rounding up.

To this day I still have no idea where he came up with that or who told him to do that.

Guys guys guys, you're missing an important element.

1. Picking class before is retarded. You didn't decide your job before you were born. You decided after the fickle whims of the fates were done molding who you were.

2. 3d6 down the line is the superior method, but you need a little bit of help; it's not fair to have everybody get one shot at a functioning character.

Use the DCC funnel method:

Everyone rolls four level-0 commoners using 3d6 down the line, with 5d12cp, a random piece of adventuring equipment, a random commoner occupation, and a weapon and trade good associated with that occupation.

Then you run the first adventure.

By the end of it you'll find that, by natural processes, wealth and equipment has concentrated itself into the four to six most capable commoners, who can now choose a class and become level 1 adventurers.

The rest will be dead.

Honestly, rolling for stats is perfectly fine by me, when I am inclined to play Pathfinder, I will have my players roll 4d6, and drop the lowest, then let them choose a race and class based on that because that is presented as the default way of generating stats and I will go by that because, honestly part of me wants the game to feel as 'authentic' as possible, while still telling my own stories.

the idea of building a D&D character by starting with the stats, which you do the old fashion way -- roll 3d6 per stat and all stats in order, then build from there (selecting class, etc).

A lot of people bitch at him for it, but his point is that sometimes it can lead to unique and interesting characters. He even talks about how not to be draconian with it and make it easy to roll new stats if your roll so terribly that it actually gets in the way of a making a functional character. For instance, if you roll a chars background and it means they lost an eye -- which happened to one of his players and the player decided to stick with it by making a big part of his backstory.

He also says that if you aren't ever willing to at least try something different when making a character (this being an example of something different), then you're a coward. Which I think is pretty fair, given how many powergamers I've seen that freak out when they aren't guaranteed optimum stats.

Nah, a shitty player will make a shitty character no matter what method of character generation. I started playing 30 years ago and hated dicing characters, once I got introduced to my first point buy system, I never looked back.

The entire "But you can re-roll if you get shitty stats" crap is pure bullshit. Why not just cut the extraneous crap and go straight to point buy?

I thought OD&D character creation involved 3d6 down the line, and maybe B/X. It's been a while since I've looked at them, though.

I run S&W, and have my players roll 3d6 twelve times and write them in a circle, and then they can pick any six in order (going clockwise).
>>
>>52596982

An anon already debunked this in a previous iteration of this fucking thread. Historically, no editions of D&D have ever recommended 3d6 in order. Not even the od&d. In fact some of them even outright recommended avoiding it as a method of rolling stats.

Even seen some guy crunch the numbers once and come up with the the conclusion that it was next to impossible to classify for a bard or a paladin in AD&D, Spoony's favorite game, with the probabilities of 3d6 in order. Meaning he's basically full of shit along with everything else.

Its never been more than another stupid draconian house rule created trough poor understanding of existing one. Just like critical skill failures.

Are you fucking daft?

>Prior to the character selection by players it is necessary for the referee to roll three six-sided dice in order to rate each as to various abilities, and thus aid them in selecting a role. Categories of ability are: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution,
Dexterity, and Charisma. Each player notes his appropriate scores, obtains a similar roll of three dice to determine the number of Gold Pieces (Dice score x 10) he starts with, and then opts for a role.

The only difference here is the order and the fact that the DM rolls instead of the player.

>>
>>52597263
Basically, skills aren't supposed to crit because they are a measure of your basic abilities. It wouldn't make sense for you to suddenly lose the ability to see because your spot was too low, as an example.

Thus, skills can't crit. Otherwise, the gradual increase in skills would be near meaningless. There's also the option of taking 10 or 20 on many skills, which makes the point of criticals nearly useless.

In all its just a system that works out badly for the players more often than it would help them any better than it would have anyways. It would also take the point out of some skills that have increasing DC's based on situational factors.

well I agree completely, although I remember once playing an early tabletop witcher game (published in 2001, never really took off)
it only used d6 dice and for any check you threw like 3d6 and if you got a six there (kida like crit success) you got automatic pass and 1 on any was automatic fail, only things inbetween used modifiers and such.

It was weird and kinda half baked with definitely more focus on story with only a side of dice rolling so maybe it made sense in designers mind, I dunno

Eh, could make a decent archer I suppose. Quick with his hands but lacking in everything else.

One of my favourite approaches to stat generation in 3E was the following: You get three 6s, three 5s, three 4s, etc. Divide those dice however you like among your stats, so for example you could put two 5s and a 4 into a stat for a 14 but then you'd only have one 5 left to put anywhere else. It basically adds up to 63 total points among stats.

If you want to simulate 4d6 drop lowest you instead need to hand out 73.5 points approximately, so three 6s, four 5s, five 4s, four 3s, and two 2s would work.

Hey, I'm a kinda shitty Paladin.

I played an amazing paladin with similar stats. Less strength and more dex though.

I'ts not the numbers on the page, it's the numbers in your heart.
>>
>>52601091
Yeah, he's totally workable but not really ideal.
>>
>>52601123
Ideal is boring, constraints create interesting bullshit.

Playing PF for my pali, he's a holy guide paladin (trading mercy's for terrain bonuses AND a teamwork feat? YES) he's focused on mounted combat, is basically a ninja in fullplate thanks to the teamwork feat. when he gets high enough level he'll be our main healer. My guy's INT is a lot higher, but i have a con penalty instead.

Sure he can't take a lot of hits, doesn't hit back too hard (his mount does though), but he can bog up a group pretty good if he's on foot, and is basically unkillable if he's on his mount. One should note, i decided on playing a pali before i rolled stats.

His stat total is about 60 after race iirc.

He's still the teams hero because of how i play him.

Sure, whatever you say anon. Meanwhile, I'll be over here playing a mage and actually doing something besides sitting in the corner waiting for combat to start.

Actually, nah, I don't feel like fighting so I'll just render the entire encounter moot with a single SoL/SoD spell and you can mop up while I reorganize my scrolls.

"ill take the first watch"
*walks behind you*
"pshh nothin personal kid"
*swings at you repeatedly*

>The Fighter sneaking up behind me thinks that he has the drop on me.
>Fortunately, I used divination to see this attack coming, so I prepped an illusion spell and illusionary terrain so that he'd fall to his death when he swings at me.
>Martials, when will they learn?
>>
>>52601533
you spelled rouge wrong.
>>
>>52601569
Please, at least rogues can find traps. When everyone knows how to fight, what use is the fighter?
>>
>>52601568
> i punch you in the face for being a pompous dickweed, guess martial's win IRL?

also

>Of course i have cast the spell that undo's you before i've even learned of your treachery, i always have the exact right spell ready, what am i a viable character concept?
