Aegeus[5e] Dice Mechanic with Point Buy RNG?
[5e] Dice Mechanic with Point Buy RNG? - The TTRPG network
Hello everyone, I thought it would be nice to have a dice mechanic for 5e’s character creation with an output more similar to the point buy system, since the default dice mechanic leads to overall higher stats. This could be a system with the same output range as point buy as well as one that still offers the possibility of rolling very high numbers (16-18) but with a higher probability to roll very low than 4d6 drop lowest. Do you already know of such a dice mechanic? Or could you maybe provide a source for the probabilities of a stat having a certain number in the point buy system, so as to make it comparable to 4d6 drop lowest? The latter would give a starting point to play around with dice.run [dice.run] in order to create a system as desired. Thank you all very much in advance!

What are you opinions on the d20 dice itself. Do you find that it creates too large of a spread? Do you dislike how most games use the 1 and the 20 for critical failures and successes? Do you swap it out for 3d6 or something else?

A Geek in KoreaPlaying in a homebrew Stars Without Number game by @myxomycetes. We are a hapless tank crew on a distant planet roving and in the middle of a flash point conflict.
The last time I played a #WorldsWithoutNumber game, my necromancer was ripped apart by dogs in the first combat encounter. Rolling 1 HP was not nice. I put work into making the character unique and made a unique concept last time, and never got to play it beyond the one shot.
This time witt SWN, I'm not as attached to my character. The SWN character generation didn't give me a stat above 10, and I have 3 stats with penalties! 3d6 rolls without a fixed minimum array option character gen is brutal.
I also took the skill 'Polymath', so I can attempt non-combat rolls with all the skills in the game, but because of my stat array I have awful luck at passing any of them.
