  That depends. is it a matter of "16 STR, 14 Char" or "10 Str, 20 CHA?"

  yea, so there is a simple question... is it possible to "reroll" ability scores you took at character creating when you are 60?

  No, why should it. We never could re-roll our level 20 characters in previous Neverwinter games or Baldur's gate. I dont think it should be re-rollable..

  you should be rolling at character creation till you get the best possible outcome for your class. Spam that re roll button son.

  I know the total can differentiate depending on what stats you roll, since I spent a little time at character creation counting the total stat number

  There is a fixed number of stat arrays that you can roll, and they're all equal to the default character creation system in 4e: 22 point buy. The most efficient array is the 16 16 12 10 10 10 array, which is close to the PnP CharOp recommended array of 16 16 12 12 10 8.

  No clue what good the ability scores are since this game has about nothing in common with D&D. If it was D&D it'd be pretty clear.

  Anything is possible with enough zen. Never say never.
  
  Plus this is an MMO and it's better to let players tweak their characters they've spent weeks playing than to have them quit because they're not happy. Games are meant to be fun, not a kick in the nads.

  ability scores/stat points, do they make or break your character? i messed up and got CHA instead of STR

  
  Is there any way (Zen, Astral Diamonds, etc) to change your initial Ability Score point die rolls selections?
