Are some superstats only possible with rerolls or can they - in theory - be statted as well? If I want a 15 19 19 18 15 fc (or whatever max stat it is) for instance, is that only achievable via rerolls? Or is it that rerolls break the barrier of whatever max stats you can get from statting?
Or is it that both can give the same stats, but the likelihood of rerolling superstats is far more than statting it?
None of my main alts got any worthwhile rerolls so am just wondering whether I should try to stat something - but won't if it's unlikely to be much better than what I already have (16 16 19 18 13).
Statting vs Rerolls
Re: Statting vs Rerolls
No expert or statistician but...
Rerolls seem to set a minimum limit based on your current stat total, so your 82 point FC could reasonably roll higher stat points than 82, increasing your chance of uber stats.
The chances of rolling higher than 82 on an original stat, dependent on homeland, are conceivable but highly unlikely based on the minimum limit of 70 stat points.
Anecdotally, I've rolled ubers from Seandar, Illian (warrior) and EF, but the total stat point totals were probably based on the increased bonus to int/wil versus other homelands that don't have the same bonuses to mentals.
Here's a for-instance - 13 19 19 18 13 Illian FC rerolled at 200 to 15 19 18 18 15

Re: Statting vs Rerolls
Rerolls the long easy way. Statting the short hard way. I believe it is possible to stat a perfect FC, but be prepared to stat for 6000 stats. Imo it is not worth it and random character creation similar to slot pokies should be abolished. It is stupid to log on ls and the other 10 ppl playing are all super statters.
Re: Statting vs Rerolls
Well for 15 19 19 18 15, you'll need Illian, which you are not simply because you've got a 16 str, which is 1 over Illian's max.

Take a look at this article that I wrote part of - homeland and the slow power of incremental improvement.

Re: Statting vs Rerolls
Oh wow, this is really helpful. Thank you!
Not looking to restat my fc - was just toying with the idea of statting one with better hps/int especially if I get terrible rerolls again

Re: Statting vs Rerolls
I have an fc that is one off of max stats for Two Rivers, I like it, but it is not traditional: 17 18 19 15 16
Not too hard to stat in my experience, I have another Two Rivers that is: 17 13 18 15 16.
Both statted, not rerolled.
