If it wasn't just a thought-exercise, the answer would be: Quit the game and start over until you get a perfect roll the first time.
Seriously. Games are supposed to be fun, not painful. While it might be a fun thought exercise, it's incredibly bad game design.
- jrs95 9y agoIf you're trying to exploit the game, you should be having less fun. I played Baldur's Gate, and there were all sorts of things you could do to be stronger than you ought to be. Even without the rolling, you could level up a character several times and then restart the game with that character. I didn't do that specifically because I wanted to enjoy the game.
