I went to the Wizards of the Coast online die roller and - no kidding - rolled in this order:
6
7
9
8
6
5
3

I'm just not doing that.

So I re-rolled and got the stats I put in the sheet. Much better 2nd time, but still not comfortable.

I swear, decades of bad in-person rolling seem to be countered whenever I use the Wizards online roller. I rolled a character last week and got two 17s!

It doesn't matter where I roll: in person, Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, WotC, etc. It's usually terrible, followed by below average, a tiny bit of awesome, and right back to terrible.

Yikes. You sure you weren’t using the 3 1d3 roller?
The last time I used the Unseen Servant I got like 3 18s, and I think like a couple 14s and a 16. I shared the roller code and felt so guilty I couldn’t use it. Yet the same damn roller wouldn’t give me a to hit roll above a 5 if my life depended on it.

Totally! I did a doubletake, but - sure enough - it was the d6. I changed the 1(d6) to 3d6 and then clicked the 'roll' button 7 times. No kidding, those were my rolls and I was like "No way - I'm not a good enough RP'er to pull that off!"

Have you guys considered playing any games that have no ability scores? Tiny Dungeons and Risus are a couple that come to mind.

Interesting.

I was going to join a Tiny Dungeon game on Unseen, never tried it before but they didn’t get enough players.

Remy follows both Pelor and Melora, if such a thing is allowed.

Maybe I'll try a Tiny D6 game on the forum here sometime. It will have to happen after I stop join more play-by-posts!

I know the feeling!
