Did you waste hours rolling ability scores while playing games?

1 Answer

Answer :

Not necessarily higher scores. I do use D&D dice and rules to help me make up characters for non-D&D purposes. I enjoy the challenge of rolling a straight 3d6 seven times and making a person up who fits those stats. High intelligence, low wisdom and Dex scores? Alcoholic wizard! High strength and charisma, low Constitution? Diabetic paladin!
