A hero isn't stats (although those help out a lot).  A hero is what one does with what is given.  In every D&D prior to 4th Ed., you could spread your attributes around and your character wasn't gimped.  On the contrary, it often helped your character survive much longer.
Str-16
Int-10(ish)
Wis-12
Dex-13
Con-17
Cha-11

That's not a hero. Thats ME by (80s-90s standards) AD&D standards. Plain old ordinary 40 hour a week father of two. And yes on the inside I am a hero, A fighter, My bro would have been a mage. Book smart, body broken (Only had one lung due to a tumor when he was a young child). But we would have been NPCs to the legendary heroes that our characters were to become.
Is your name Caramon? ;)

I would have shot myself. I am a self-proclaimed Rabid Raistlin Fangirl.

yes, but I never much cared for Caramon. He wasn't much more than Raist's backstory to me. XD

But who was the only person able to stop Raist from destroying reality?



Yup Caramon

I'll have you know that the great kender hero Tasslehoff Burrfoot had a equal claim to the glory of stopping Raistlin. I mean, without him, what would Dragonlance be?

...

Don't answer that.

He didn't destroy it, he made it better. I don't care what his attack of conscience told him.

He hit the reset button. And took matters into his own hands. I'm sure he'd figure out how to repopulate it EVENTUALLY.

Plus the live ones were sweet.

I just have a dice bag, in which everything is dumped. No nonsense, no bad luck because you got the bad rolls in a row... None of that. I study psychology which has taught me at the very least that humans are ill equiped to see statistics and the relevant patterns. As such I leave it at the door. Who says education is bad? :D

AJ I run SPC on a daily basis. Statistics are the death of superstition. I do however have a favorite set of dice. They are because they are Black & Red. my favorite colors! SO that is a small superstision if you wanna go there ;)

I don't even have a favorite pair of dice... I get all the dice I can get as long as they are readable.

Oh I have had many favorite sets in my gaming carreer. They all got lost over the years. The worst loss I had was my Clan Wolf d6 set and bear skin dice bag. My wife bought it from a Native American reservation Suveneer shop. Many jokes went around about a really mad bear somewhere missing his sack. IYKWIM

AHHH the tribble dice bag. How I miss you so. I think my Smoke Jags and Steel Viper dice were in there too!

My favorite are my black and white. I have a mini set that's pearl and black, an oddly shaped set (there's a couple crystals and a d3 in there?) that are clear and black, and my bone/horn 2d6 I bought at gencon.

Then for shadowrun it's just my black and gold... though I'm thinking of looking for black and blue to use with Nathan.
