0.73% chance of a 100 or better. Pretty slick!
I'm playing on a 101 build (0.44%) and there's at least one player who has
mentioned a roll of at least 105 (0.04% ~ I hadn't accounted for homeland in my first analysis).[/quote]

I think I see how you got that number. That would be the dice roll itself without race and the 15 points, right?

I've rolled 105 3 times (this roll is very uncommon), but 102 is not too uncommon. 102 is a nice roll, it basically means your average attribute is 15 exactly after bonus and race. Possibly the RNG is biased to the higher rolls, or possibly if you're rerolling repeatedly you tend to skip the low rolls very quickly. I assume that you are calculating the %'s quoted in your posts on the basis that each roll is 1d8+6?

This is true, but I simply call this a Uniform Distribution from 7 to 14 rather than interpreting it as a roll of a die. I haven't asked BW if this is true or if the distribution is skew (only slightly if so).

Assuming Uniform Distribution, 105 or better will come up around 4 times out of every 10,000 rolls (!!!). I don't have my data in front of me, but I'm tempted to say 102 or better should come up somewhere around 2-3 times every 1000 rolls - note that the former (>=105) is a subset of the latter (>=102) and is thus included in the percentage.

I think this is a 106 character if I figured it out right.

104
If you add up your total attributes, you have 122. Less 18 (15 bonus points +3 race points) you have 104.

I saw several 101s, and then stumbled across a 106 - everything was 14 except wisdom (13) and strength (9).
Maybe not where I'd choose to put that 9, but rather a nice roll I thought!
I made him a rifter druidic healer, boosted end to 20 and perc to 25, added spot hidden and unarmed for skills, and away we go!

Ok, scratching my head now - maybe my random number generator likes me?
I moved to a different computer and rerolled.
In less than 10 tries I came up with a 107! All 14s except Dex (13) and Concentration (10).
Blinked a few extra times at that one...
