It's the toss up between point buy mini maxing vs random stats. I've used a few diferent ideas in the past. This last time I gave characters extra points for low rolls that they could distribute where ever they wanted. This ended up with people with still crap rolls but with DEX of 16-18.

I like this idea. I like it I does. I reckon I shall impliment it in the current game.

Pretty much every RPG says the same thing. Getting back into RQ though after a few years off I wanted to just go straight from the book.
I'm hoping the new BRP has some decent new idea to pull from to counter some of the issues.
