Her stats are as follows (generated by rolling 3d6)

I guess the stats were missing the -2 to Con, so (s)he rolled a 16 on Con as well, making the row 16, 15, 16, 17, 18, 14.

As a math exercise, the odds for that happening with a single row of 3d6s is 16,200 in 101,559,956,668,416. Or 25 in 156,728,328,192. Or once in 6,269,133,127.68. That is, once in six billion.

Or in other words. If million roleplayers create a new character each week using this method, we see such rows once in every 120 years.

That's some pretty nice dice rolling.

May I ask how you got those odds?

A question about bows.

If you have a +1 Composite longbow with a strenght bonus of +1, can you upgrade the strength bonus by paying the difference (100 gp per increase)?

All composite bows are made with a particular strength rating (that is, each requires a minimum Strength modifier to use with proficiency). If your Strength bonus is less than the strength rating of the composite bow, you can’t effectively use it, so you take a –2 penalty on attacks with it. The default composite longbow requires a Strength modifier of +0 or higher to use with proficiency. A composite longbow can be made with a high strength rating to take advantage of an above-average Strength score; this feature allows you to add your Strength bonus to damage,up to the maximum bonus indicated for the bow.

My understanding of this is that the composite bow has to be made with the strength bonus, you can't alter it afterwards.
