    Unfortunately this is by no means guarantee of powergaming potential. (Cleric/Ranger is probably better off, since at a loss of 10pts from minima you become a serious spellcaster in addition to a woodsman.)

    74 points to spend on a Human Fighter. That's a whooping 98 total.

    Highest I ever had, I think, was in the mid-to-high 60s left to spend on a Half-Orc Keansai (Might have been human, but i think he was Half-Orc)

    104 with a half-orc fighter/thief.

    Actually that's not quite correct. Paladins and rangers do have higher stats but the chances of aquiring 3x6x6 is just the same for a ranger as it is for a fighter.

    But the minima push up the scores, so when you roll a 3 and the minimum is 15, it becomes 15. Therefore, you ability score is not 3d6, it's max(3d6, class-race-minumum)

    @Xei: wow, that's amazing! How long does it take? the best I get is 67.

    I have a policy on this. Either I go with stats provided by the first dice-rolling, spending more on stats I need or, if needed I edit my stats conveniently with Shadowkeeper. I think dice-rolling over and over again is veery cheesy.
