Need to make rolling 4D6 for abilities possible

[Invisible]

4D6, drop lowest die. x's 3 sets .. Take the best set and assign attributes.

[LoveTruffle]

This is 5e, the balance is a little different than previous BG titles. Don't expect as high of starting (or ending) attributes.

True.

A high level bard can give other players a d12 to add to any roll other than damage. Uness they are college of valor then they can add a d12 to damage or AC.

Well not to any roll cos you can't increese spell Dc but most rolls yeah so it's still too good and it becomes broken Op if you can rest unlimited times like you can in BG 3...

I believe the best way to make a character is 3 fold...1.random2.Point draw system or 3..What ever you want who cares..that way everyones happy.

...i'm runing around in my EA right now with 20 in my primary stat at level 4 unmoded and even if i was runing around with 18., i would only hit like 5% less far from game braking compared to all the other stuff in the game already...

Hi, how do you get a 20 in ability with a 4 level character in an unmoded run?
When I do the math (and upon all of my last run for now) the best I could get was 19. The only way I see for this is to edit your abilities. Which is not moded but cheating instead.

Larian made items that give stats you just need to find them. They are well know by now

Ok sorry, I though you were talking about playing with a character without the use of items. I did find them. My bad.

They are one time use but they give you perments bonus stat. But thing is they don't always work, i guess due to bugs or something.. I know for charisma it works in this patch so that's good for warlock bard or sorcerer... Not sure for other stats could be bugged.

Or, hell, just let everyone start with all stats at 20 amiright?

I understand what you are saying, but at the same time try rolling for three 18s, see how it goes.

Not the brightest bulb in the box.

DnD dropped that dice rolling for stats back in third edition.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Results for rolling 1d10 -1 (1's and 2's count as "1") +9, rolled in character sheet stat order six times (no rearranging):

- Result 1 (die roll in parenthesis) -

11 (3)
10 (1)
12 (4)
10 (2)
11 (3)
16 (8)

{good Cha caster - Sorcerer, Paladin, Bard, Warlock - even a little boost to Con}

- Result 2 -

16 (8)
15 (7)
12 (4)
14 (6)
15 (7)
10 (2)

{somewhat strong character, but not OP - good for multiclassing - could be fighter, or any martial due to the Str, could be a multi Cleric or Druid that doesn't rely on high Wis attack rolls, could be a Dex based class (get feat later for +1) or Cha based class (feat or ASI later to increase), slightly better saves across the board, but not OP}



Results for rolling 1d10 +1 (9's and 10's just count as "10") +8, rolled in order, no rearranging:

- Result 1 -

10 (1)
10 (1)
12 (3)
18 (10)
10 (1)
10 (1)

{This is the most 1's I've ever rolled for a character - and, as you can see, it still doesn't result in a dump character. This is a Wizard or Artificer with a tiny bump to their concentration saves. That 18 in Int really saves them from being trash}

- Result 2 -

12 (3)
16 (7)
10 (1)
17 (8)
10 (1)
12 (3)

{Weirdly, this one ended up similar to the first, except with better Dex (for AC!), a little bit stronger (better carrying capacity), and a small bonus to Cha saving throws - I'm going to do one more test since this one ended up so similar to Test 1}

- Result 3 -

14 (5)
18 (10)
10 (1)
12 (3)
18 (9)
18 (9)

{This is probably my luckiest roll...obviously, could go any Dex based class like Rogue or Ranger or Monk, or Wisdom or Charisma based class...also would obviously be a good multiclass character in any of those, the high Dex is great for bonus AC should I choose to go with any of the other 18's as my main stat...this is probably the most 'powerful' of the four rolls here, and maybe slightly "OP" - I would probably end up going Monk because of the high Dex and Wis, and maybe multiclass into something else as well, perhaps Sorcerer or Warlock}

Dropped? You mean stop using?

Player's handbook 5E chapter 3:
"You generate your character’s six ability scores randomly. Roll four 6-sided dice and record the total of the highest three dice on a piece of scratch paper."...

[Astral Projection]

I think you mean "4d6, min 3, assign anywhere".

0w you mean like lets just post suff that got nothing to do with anything??

So, starting with super high stats isn't related to rolling 4D6 and dropping the lowest for every stat? And doing it 3 times even, so you pick the strongest of 3 strong rolls?

I think it's directly related.

Rolling for stats is how most players calculate there characters stats. Which will be in the game at launch.

Directly setting your characters stats is also a very good option that should be included because players may choose to roll stats outside of the game or want to bring in a character that they played previously and thus want to bring in the stats from those characters.
