ability score generation (survey)

4d6 drop the lowest. I'm a purist (but not an insane purist.. no 3d6 in order thank you very much)

+1.

It may not be true with all groups, but I find that point buy often encourages min-maxing. Since I usually have one or two players who optimize, and three or four who have probably never heard the phrase "optimized build" associated with gaming, anything that encourages min-maxing just throws off the dynamic.

Edit: Because anything that encourages min-maxing increases power disparity when only one or two players optimize. Thought I should clarify.
