10. The Mathematics Behind 4d6 Drop the Lowest - Preston Poulter's Blog
19 okt 2010 · The Mathematics Behind 4d6 Drop the Lowest. Unlike most other roleplaying games, Dungeons and Dragons and recently spun off Pathfinder RPG allow ...
Unlike most other roleplaying games, Dungeons and Dragons and recently spun off Pathfinder RPG allow for multiple ways to generate your characters starting characteristics. A point-buy system has become the most popular way by most players because it will result in each player having a starting character that is roughly of the same power level. This is a concern for a lot of gaming groups because the games they play are dominated by combat (which chews up quite a bit of game session time per encounter) and players tend to feel resentful if one player is significantly outshining the other players in terms of body count. In more social games, I think disparity in character power levels doesn’t mean as much. If we are roleplaying out Bilbo Baggins’s birthday party does the difference in power level between Gandolph and Samwise Gamgee really matter all that much?
