In my recent games the past few years it seems like there's always someone who gets totally slaughtered on their stat rolls and 1-2 others who basically roll near-perfect beings.

Everyone is always affable about it at first but as the game progresses you can really feel the quiet animosity building when the low-roller ends up totally whiffing everything they were supposed to be good at while something like a Fighter becomes our religious encyclopedia by the mere nature of rolls.

I'm generally a fan of point buy these days as a result but everyone I play with greatly prefers rolling in hopes that this time around they'll be the Mighty Adonis protecting our meek Cleric who could probably get curbstomped by a farmer.
