when you make a character you "roll it up"

it is in reference to real early D&D when you rolled 3d6 dice to determine your starting stats.

if you died you then "rerolled" a new character.

The term reroll in DDO referes to a person who decides there character is "gimped" or just not doing what they wanted to do (or in the case of permadeath guilds - the character has died) so they delete it and make a new one.

aka "reroll" in reference to the old days :D

Creating a character is often referred to as "Rolling" a character. Rerolling is therefor remaking a character from the bottom up.

Rerolling simply means to make a new character.

Often times it means making a new character with similar features to your old character, for instance if you have a 5th level ranger who specializes in two weapon fighting, but you decide hes not versitile enough, you may "Reroll" that character with a level of rogue in order to give them some extra abilities.

More rarely, rerolling means erasing a current character and using the same name, while slightly altering its build. Otherwise the same as the aforementioned usage.

As they said, noting that the OP asked a good question that's never really explained to the uninformed.

My new word of the day ^_^ "Kids can do terrible things sometimes. But don't blame them, they don't know any better. They're just unkowledged"

meh...You try to make sense when you have no caffiene in the system. You're lucky it was spelled slighty right. It's fixed, yadda yadda

Rerolling is what you do when the DM is getting a soda.

Pfft, my quote will preserve it for posterity. Plus, I love inventified wordages! They're fantasticalicious! (And yes, I do seriously talk like this. I find it makes people smile ;))
