My rolls:
2 - 16 - 19 - 20 - 6 - 12 (personaly concidering it great roll, funny enough it was my first ... 20Str, 19Con, 16Dex, 12Cha, 6Wis, 2Int ... great Barbarian in my eyes)
7 - 4 - 12 - 16 - 15 - 5 (not so good, but it could work)
12 - 11 - 3 - 1 - 9 - 20 (again, acceptable)
12 - 20 - 14 - 15 - 14 - 9 (exceptional!)
20 - 12 - 2 - 17 - 18 -7 (exceptional!)
11 - 13 - 3 - 16 - 5 - 5 (acceptable)

Just out of morbid curisoity....

What exactly was your internal brain logic here, putting up a series of stat spreads that very obviously were not using any number genration system that related to generating ability scores in D&D, and reating it like a demonstration of something?

I'm just... I don't know... puzzled at this, enough that I need to jump back and comment. We're talking about rolling ability scores - rolling 4d6 per ability, six times per spread, and your odds and time investment to roll mltiple 18s in a single spread (low enough that it will take you hours). What was your thinking, in rolling a single d20 a bunch of times and posting it up?

Would you care to address the contention that even starting with an 18 or a 20 provides what is ultimately a relatively minor advantage in the opening few levels of the game, and that that edge disappears more or less completely after the first four levels or so (due to 5es bounded accuracy)? This is just demonstrabale reality.... and in this converstion so far, No-One who has spoken against rolling has actually adressed it.

To Tuco, same challenge I put to Rag: Yes you can make a lot of rolls very fast using an in-game roller. Sure... if it's such a doable thing though, why don't you put your money where your moouth is and spend those intensely boring "few minutes" to roll a spread with three 18s in it (as I said and as you responded to with your claim of minutes), and then come back and report to us how long, exactly, it took you.... because we're not talking a probability of hundreds, here, we're talking a probability in the multiple thousands... Rag was not prepared to actually do it for the sake of this discussion... are you?
