I have two methods of rolling stats, "adjusted" and "unadjusted." Adjusted means I keep hitting Reroll until I get a total of at least 90 stat points, and then I pump my guy's desired stats to the maximum and fiddle with the others as best I can. Unadjusted also means that I hit Reroll a lot, but I don't use the (+) or (-) buttons to move stat points from one stat into another: Each roll is complete and inviolable. When one of my rolls shows a good roll for the type of character I'm building (such as when I rolled a 16/17/18 for the Str/Dex/Con of a Barbarian), I write down that set of 6 stats. Then, when I've got 10 sets of stats written down, I pick the best one, and use those for my final stats.

I think my highest total roll was a 97, on a Paladin.
