Heheh, Cgrant, another Wiz 1 veteran!! Cool.
Ditto to Ryanamur and Wvyern: if you keep rolling for the "highest" stats, you place yourself on the upper end of the RNG and eventually you'll get nothing but 1's. HOWEVER...it's only at the beginning when HP matters, IMO, so I generally do the "reload" thing until about level 8 and then ignore it from that point onward.
