I like your experiment kiwidoc.

Personally, I've always found it frustrating to roll characters in the infinity engine games. When playing pencil and paper AD&D, I used to roll character stats as one of the first things. Then I would choose the class after I had determined what my character was capable of doing. In a role-playing sense, I think this makes more sense. I mean, I wouldn't decide that I wanted to be a wizard and then worked to raise my intelligence so that I could succeed in that career. I would choose a career that fits with my personality. If I were strong, I'd be a fighter. If I happened to be wise, I'd study to be a cleric. In a true role-playing sense, I wish I could do like you and take the first natural roles for 6 individuals and then see what classes they were suited to pursue. I suppose I could use Dalekeeper to edit the classes and such, but it would be nice if I could do it without any "external" intervention.

BTW: Welcome.

I've read some of your posts elsewhere. It's nice of you to join us.
