Mostly is cheaper to get 14 from 12 rather than from 12.But in 19 out of 20 scenarios it's better to have 14-12 than 13-13 or 14-14 than 15-13.In 5e they should have really got rid of "two points of ability value per one point of ability modifier" and just went for 1-for-1.If average score is 10 with ability modifier of +0, then 11 should be +1 modifier and 12 should be +2, etc...also then a score of 1(with -9 modifier to d20) would be great in description of really low scores and their probability value on d20.I.E. strength of a beetle or intelligence of a worm.But this way, ASI boost should then only be +1 for one ability and "half-feats" should be bumped up in strength to "full-feat" value.Also there is ability array problem.If we then keep standard array of abilities; rolled values from 3-18 or fixed array of 15,14,13,12,10,8 we get double the value of modifiers in that case. Or reduce standard humanoid ability array to 6-14(-4 to +4 modifiers before racials) or fixed array at 13,12,11,11,10,9 and cap the abilities at 15.</blockquote>
