Give us dice rolling for stats

[nuther]

Not all people on earth have the same stat totals for distribution.

Sure chief, but hey listen. Also grab https://github.com/LaughingLeader/BG3ModManager/releases

Because youre going to want a mod manager that can handle all your bad decisions!

[nuther]

No mods please. Put it in game.

Roll some dice, edit your stats.

[Trolleur_Durden]

Well, BG3 isn't the Earth, so your point is totally irrelevant.

[Carog the Fat]

No thet don't on Earth but all adventurers do have the same stat totals in Faerun.

Picked up BG 2 on GoG the other day (for like $3) and it lets you roll for stats. Spent way too long hitting that re-roll button trying to get 90+ points to distribute. If you ever played a tabletop version of DnD, sometimes the whole first secession is just rolling characters so you can play next time. Eventually you're just going to look for a way to edit the rolls so you can have best stats.

No.

Mod it in if you want it OR roll some dice irl.

This exactly. My tables have a 2 mulligan rule: You roll 4d6+3 per stat with a creation hardcap of 20, then assign them as you want. You can reroll your entire set up to two more times, but your third set is the one you stick with.
Thats if you want to roll, though. I urge my players to point buy.

Rolling dice is not the answer.

If I rolled all 18s, I would not be able to put that into my game character.

That should be obvious to anyone saying roll dice.

Thats why mods exist my guy. Rolling for stats is a min-max thing where you try to get at minimum 16 in every stat.
Just like real time with pause, its not something most people want... Or even do.

Oh so that’s the real reason you want it. To savescum your way to the max possible stats.

No reason not to have it as an option, since they have other, utterly ridiculous options in the game as well.

Wouldn't mind races ACTUALLY having stat bonuses regarding their race. Like in this game someone call "Dungeons and Dragons".

Believe this was they way it was originally, but they decided on the current system.

Believe it or not, but this game that some call "Dungeons and Dragons" uses the exact same system that BG3 has! Wow!

What do you care how I like to play my games anyway?

How does that affect you?
