Stats

[Blackfoot]

We always used the 3 column method when we played tabletop.

[JohnD]

I tend to use the 3 column optional rule for stats. It usually works out pretty good.

I have rolled up a character in a game JohnD ran that had some bad stats. If I remember correctly more than half of them were below 50 (and that was with the auto-rerolls for stats below 20). He offered to let me reroll the stats but I just adapted the character background to fit the stats. It worked out well for the short time I was able to play in John's game.

Yeah, I've always felt bad that I didn't go with stat buy in that game and settled for rolling. Still relatively new to FG at the time. Now I'd go with 660.

I feel even worse that game didn't last longer... got boned by Real Life.

[GM Snow]

My group (I am the GM) still uses the Rules in CHaracter Law straight up. 1 set of rolls. reroll any stat under 20.

I let them arrange the stats how they like, Any temporary put into a prime stats under 90 is raised to 90.

We have never had any problems with this method.

YES, at level 1 there tend to be quite a few stats (temps) below 90.... but the potentials Always tend to make up for this.... and they players enjoy seeing their characters improve dramatically when these stats go up.
