So I might DM next month and I wonder if my idea for the starting abilities is okay.
I personally find giving everyone the same starting array boring, and letting everyone throw too random, and point-buy too limiting/too min-maxy
So I made 8 starting arrays and will let the throw a d8 to see which they get before they choose their race.
1. 15 15 13 13 11 11
+2 +2 +1 +1 0 0
2. 15 15 15 12 11 10
+2 +2 +2 +1 0 0
3. 16 14 13 12 10 10
+3 +2 +1 +1 +0 +0
4. 16 15 13 12 10 9
+3 +2 +1 +1 +0 -1
5. 16 16 13 13 9 8
+3 +3 +1 +1 -1 -1
6. 17 15 14 11 8 8
+3 +2 +2 +0 -1 -1
7. 17 16 13 10 9 8
+3 +3 +1 +0 -1 -1
8. 18 14 11 11 10 7
+4 +2 +0 +0 +0 -2
Is it a workable idea?
Are they balanced?
