I noticed the game tracks (and displays) the number of rerolls during a characters generation. Does this have any in-game effect, giving a mechanical reason to go with organic rather than optimal rolls? Or is it just to remind you that you aren't old-school enough?

Just there to remind us how pathetic we are trying to get the ultimate roll. No ingame effects that I have ever been aware of.

I prefer to use the term "particular". :p

That would be Canadian for pathetic then? ;-)

lol

The Great White North - masters of self-delusion.

The highest stat roll i ever made was in this game, he was just a single classed dwarf cleric, nothing fancy, but i rolled somehow totalling his stats to 104. I couldn't belive it. I roll for hours and hours on bg2 to try and get my pc with a good 90-94. that alone will make me remember this game for ever and ever and ever. I called him Tyr (after the norse god, not the forgotten realms one) and gave him exotic weapon prof so he could use the spiked chain for trip attacks. good times. :) The rest of the party was cool too, but my god that roll - i kinda felt i wasted it on the cleric :P Anyone else had similar experiences?

If you waste enough time to reroll 99999 times, you automatically get six 18s. If you reroll one more time though, you get six 3s.
