I got bored real fast of rolling up lots of the same carcartehs using 3d6 and ability scores. It just doesn't offer much real useful variety. Numbers are boring and the system is a crutch for people lacking imagination.If they want to run a dumb character, let them run one. I've had more fun by just assuming my character was an idiot and playing it as one than any intelligence score ever offered me.If they want variety or the GM wants to force them to play something with variety, set up arrays of skills or characteristics or whatever and make the players roll and take what they get. "Wow, I'm a female dwarf with big muscles and a little brain. Yuck, yuck, that's so fun I could never have thought it up myself."I'd rather imbue uniqueness and variety in my character by using my imagination. And spend my time playing the game, not playing with numbers on paper.
