Anyone else miss rolling stats, then seeing what you can play?
I don't know, I'm just getting tired of hearing, "Put your 18 in this stat for this class," "This combo is unplayable," "Yadda yadda yadda."
It's hard for me and my group to focus on roleplaying when all we do is build super characters.
Just a question: Anyone else miss rolling stats, and then seeing what you qualify for?

The answer is simple. Roll your stats.

Exactly right. My group have rolled stats with 4e since it came out and it certainly hasnt affected game balance at all.

honestly the only thing rolling stats did that was usefull is it added randomness. The best way of this is rolling and keeping stats as you roll them, meaning you didnt know your character until after you roll them up. other than that i prefer point buy. gives me total control of what i wanted to do.

My group still does the rolling stats thing, but we allow you to pick your best set of 3 sets of rolls (rerolling any set that doesn't qualify for a legal set). This allows people to play more of what they want and everyone likes rolling more dice.

My group and I still roll our stats, we just like
the fun and randomness of it all. It's your game
do with it as you wish, whatever is most fun.

I miss rolling stats. Oh how I miss it. Rolling that natural 18 was a huge thrill. I could sit there for days just rolling stats.
I do not in the least miss having to then play a six-month campaign with stats that I rolled, knowing that the guy next to me who rolled higher was going to have a better character, forever.

I hated rolling stats. Other people in my group love it but when you are rolling your characters stats for the fifth time because the rolls have been so low the rules say to reroll while watching the person next to you roll 3 18s it gets really depressing. (I am a notoriously bad roller). But nothing in the rules says you can't roll your stats. It is all up the whoever is running.
