Stat of 30

Unread post by kiralon »

Just curious, has anybody here rolled or seen rolled 30 on the 3d6 stats?
and what class was played?

Do people here allow the extra, extra dice?

I don't recall seeing it "naturally". We allowed them, but they're such long shots that I don't recall ever seeing one.

I did once (for a superhero character that ended up in a fantasy campaign) and also got a 27 (16, 6, 5) and a 24 (17, 6, 1) to add to the statistical craziness. However, a guy who was supposed to also be in the campaign rolled two 30s (I didn't witness it as I had gone down to pick up the pizzas since I was done rolling stats) but then never did come to the sessions! IIRC he was going to play a wizard of some kind.

Oops, probably should have mentioned natural rolls ;)

Highest I have seen is 28, and that was for PB.
Never cracked the 24 for myself.

twice.

Once on PB for a character i had designed to be a total bruiser in a N&SS game. So he ended up being kind of a Fabio, ladies flocking from every corner of the the world. It was a pain, couldn't get anything done as he wasn't smart enough to avoid them.

The other time was in PF, nailed a 30 on on PP for a Mercenary. All of his stats were amazing, honestly. Ended up a major psychic as well as we used those rules. Just a silly, badass character who could do anything.

I rolled a natural 30 on one character for PP. Can't recall anyone I ever played with rolling perfectly. I've had several that had multiple roles in the mid to high 20's.

For the first time in my 32 years of roleplaying i rolled a natural 30 just this month. It was for PE for a wolven longbowman.
