Rolling ability scores
James Maliszewski made a post about ability score generation. These days, I favor the 3d6-in-order method. You could give players the option of using an inverted bell curve to satisfy their inner min-maxer without out resorting to any sort of point-buys or dice swapping:
| Dice Roll (3d6) | Ability Score | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 11 | 0.5% |
| 4 | 12 | 1.4% |
| 5 | 13 | 2.8% |
| 6 | 14 | 4.6% |
| 7 | 15 | 6.9% |
| 8 | 16 | 9.7% |
| 9 | 17 | 11.6% |
| 10 | 18 | 12.5% |
| 11 | 3 | 12.5% |
| 12 | 4 | 11.6% |
| 13 | 5 | 9.7% |
| 14 | 6 | 6.9% |
| 15 | 7 | 4.6% |
| 16 | 8 | 2.8% |
| 17 | 9 | 1.4% |
| 18 | 10 | 0.5% |
