Ability Scores

[DMOverlord]

There are 6 different stats: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma. I think they are self-explaining enough. You get a figure for each ranging (for humans) between 3 and 18, 3 being very bad and 18 being very high. E.g a horse has an intelligence of 3 so unless you want to play somebody who is mentally disabled it is best to take an intelligence score of at least 6, though the average human has 10-11.

Now the way your stats are determined is by dice. When you want to join you ask me for your stats. Then I roll 4 6-sided dice (d6) and substract the lowest, Giving you 6 numbers ranging from 3 to 18. which you can allocate as you wish.

ex:
* Strength: 15
* Dexterity: 16
* Constitution: 14
* Intelligence: 13
* Wisdom: 13
* Charisma: 15
(which, is extremely beastly; i don't expect you to get such high scores, but if you do, kudos!)

Then, there's the modifiers:

3: -4
4-5: -3
6-7: -2
8-9: -1
10-11: 0
12-13: +1
14-15: +2
16-17: +3
18-19: +4
20-21: +5

The overall product:

* Strength: 15 (+2)
* Dexterity: 16 (+3)
* Constitution: 14 (+2)
* Intelligence: 13 (+1)
* Wisdom: 13 (+1)
* Charisma: 15 (+2)
(again, beast!)

An obvious key to the oblivious:
-Str- Strength
-Dex- Dexterity
-Con- Constitution
-Int- Intelligence
-Wis- Wisdom
-Cha- Charisma

So you roll dice to determine your strengths and weaknesses? Do you pick which numbers go where or is that our job?
