It is confrimation older than half year tho ...
But Swen certainly was talking in some interview about that they plan to implement Rolling for stats in character creation ...
Honestly i only hope they will also implement option to buy stats with infinite points ... since some of us will re-roll stats as long as they get what they want ... so the outome would be just the same, it only saves the time. :P
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings.

Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
