The result of the 4xPrime method is arrays that feel equally good. It is probably the ideal.The 4xPrime method has an oddity where if a score is less than 10, it will be an odd number. But this is good too. A race can use the +1 improvement to bump up the odd score to an even one, thus reducing the penalty. And the featless Human can bump up all odd-number penalties, as a race feature. This accident of mechanics is great for character building.The 4xPrime method can even handle very low scores, if the player desires.Score: Points9: −17: −25: −33: −4So for example, if a player wants a score of 3, it will reduce the total value of the array by 4 points. Normally unrecommended but possible for certain character concepts. If a player creates an array with an Charisma score of 9, for a Drow Elf, the player can then use the Drow Elf +1 improvement to boost the 9 to a 10, thus eliminating the penalty.</blockquote>
