First, for anyone considering a house rule of just assuming maximum HP rather than actually rolling the die, forget it. Ability scores should be assigned according to the 'Organic Characters' option on p 169 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
People are fored to play a specific role based on what their atributes come out as, or be near useless. And some people want to play the big guy with the sword but they get a strength of 7 and a charisma of 14 they will be unhappy. I also dislike rolling for atributes instead of buying them, but that is not as big a killer. (Though be carefull about the party balance, someone with a total atribute modifier of +14 will seriosly outshine someone with a -2 total. I was in such a party, not fun unless the GM can compensate, which is hard.)
Quote:be carefull with the loot you hand out then, because a nice weapon noone is proficient with will annoy the players.
Fourth, Feats, as I'm not confident/energetic enough to monkey with the way Skills work. Anywhere it says 'Proficient with all (type x) weapons', cross that out and replace it with two counts of the '(type x) Weapon Proficiency' feat. Wielding a weapon in combat, no matter what sort it may be, is not simple, and requires a modicum of practice with that weapon.
Overall you are really monkeying with the balance between classes which will make it much harder to GM well, esspecially with the organic characters (Which is if IIRC, roll 3d6 six times, the first roll is strenthg, the second is con, etc, no choie whatsoever) which can easily lead to say low con and high charisma, or similar combinations which make it hard to choose a sensible class for the character, as opoosed to someone who lucked into high strength and low everything else who will have several classes to choose from.
