    Default [3.5] What stat array/point buy do you play with?

    It's been a while since we've done one of these, so let's roll it out again. Sadly the poll function on GitP has long since gone the way of the dodo, so if we want a vote it has to be the old-fashioned way.

    Using the categories at the start of the 3.5 DMG, which one of these does your group usually start with?

    1. Low-powered - 22 point buy or less, or 3d6.

    2. Standard - 25 to 28 point buy, or 4d6.

    3. High-powered - 32 point buy, or 4d6 and roll several times, taking the best. (If you use 4d6 but are allowed to reroll a couple of times if you get scores you don't like, pick this category).

    4. Very high-powered - 33-40 point buy, 5d6 ability generation, or anything equivalent.

    5. Off the scale - 41+ point buy, or any method that generates that or more on average.

    If you're not sure what the normal is for your group, take your current character, figure out what the point buy total for their stats would have been, and use that.
