I used to love rolling in the old systems because we'd all gather round the table and chcuk out a character. The last time we played an "off site" rolled campaign, I rolled pretty well, and with bonuses would have had a really high set of key stats for my cleric. So I nerfed my rolls, fearing I would be called out for cheating, even though I hadn't. I sit down to day one of the campaign, and the guy next to me is playing a human ranger, top down : 16 20 16 14 14 11. I was unimpressed. On the other hand, since we've begun point buys, I find myself seeing a lot of min maxed, sterile stat characters. And we already have a group that is less than stellar for roleplaying, so the min max thing detracts from enjoyment overall. I think rolling is the way to go, but I hate that moment where I have to say "You have to roll in the game room with everyone else present."
