> 3 - Couldn't a lot of time (and system lag I'd imagine) be saved by changing the rolling system so that the lowest stat you could roll would be a 13 or 14?
From a systems standpoint, there is no additional lag/load created from the rolling process. Consider for a moment how many calculations are done in a single round of combat vs randomly choosing 6 numbers in a suitable range.
Based on the rolling discussion and practice discussions, we have all started tossing around ideas again internally. We've talked about both topics before but we never able to come up with a better solution we could all agree on. We have a lot of things in the pipeline that will come before you see any changes in these two things, but they will be shortly behind.
