07-08-03, 05:12 PM pretty much,although there are guidelines for physical stats (str/dex/con) by size and creature type in the MM2 (which I rarely use, as the game designers themselves seem to ignore them more often then not).

07-08-03, 05:26 PM Yep, ya make 'em the hell up.

You start out with a "standard array": 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11. Assign as you see it and add ability modifiers. For instance, STR 25 indicates an 11 with a +14 racial mdifier to Str.

07-10-03, 09:29 PM Yep. Whole cloth. Distribute 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, and alter as needed to get your race a-hoppin'.
