Balanced Rolls

1. Roll four six-sided dice (4d6).
   Example: You roll 4, 1, 5, 2.

2. Reroll any dice that show a 1, but only once per die.

   • From the roll above, you reroll the 1.
   • Let’s say the reroll comes up as 6.
   • Now your dice results are: 4, 6, 5, 2.

3. Drop the lowest number from the four dice.

   • The lowest number is 2, so you drop it.
   • Your remaining numbers are 4, 6, 5.

4. Add the three remaining numbers together.

   • The sum is 4 + 6 + 5 = 15.
   • This is your stat value.

Additional Examples

Example 1

1. You roll 3, 2, 1, 6.
2. Reroll the 1, and it comes up as 4.
   • New results: 3, 2, 4, 6.
3. Drop the lowest number, which is 2.
4. Final stat: 3 + 4 + 6 = 13.

Example 2

1. You roll 6, 1, 1, 3.
2. Reroll the two 1s.
   • First reroll: 4.
   • New results: 6, 4, 1, 3.
3. Drop the lowest number, which is 1.
4. Final stat: 6 + 4 + 3 = 13.

Example 3

1. You roll 5, 1, 1, 1.
2. Reroll one of the 1s (you only reroll 1 die per roll).
   • The reroll comes up as 6.
   • New results: 5, 6, 1, 1.
3. Drop the lowest number, which is 1.
4. Final stat: 5 + 6 + 1 = 12.

Key Points to Remember

• You reroll only one die showing a 1 per roll of 4d6.
• The lowest number from the four dice is always dropped after rerolling.
• This method gives you a higher chance of generating above-average stats compared to rolling straight 3d6.
