I think the best way to do it is to have everyone at the table roll a 4d6 drop the lowest stat array. Pick the best one, and then allow everyone at the table to use it.

You get organic stats, and no one is left at some strange disadvantage because of luck.

I also sometimes allow players to roll 4d6 drop the lowest 7 times, and drop the lowest of those scores.

As far I can tell, the Fighter (considered one of the weakest classes in 3.5e) is worse than it was before. Yeah, sure, they get some neat (but nearly insignificant) bonuses to armor and weapons, but the new combat maneuver system makes it overall harder to trip,etc on average. Maybe I'm missing something. Also, you get more feats.. but Paizo has introduced even MORE feat sinks for the fighter. What? This was in my opinion the worst part about 3.5e.. the useless and dumb feat chains. The fighter still has miserable saves (i.e. he'll never be able to fight anything on level with him passed like 7, because they never attack AC.)

The wizard is still as strong as I remembered also (Overpowered). Yes, some spells were nerfed a bit, but not to the point that they're not still 1 turn encounter winners, and there's still other spells that are nearly as powerful that remained untouched. And, now wizards get absolutely free bonus stuff on top of that. I don't get it.

Was Paizo not aiming for balance? Or am I missing something key here.
