Alternate Ability Score Generation by Rolling

[Ahnehnois]

I've on occasion used a system where you had one pool of d6's (say 24-30) and allocated them to an ability score *before* rolling (6 dice for Str, 5 dice for Dex, etc.). Roll however many dice you assign to each ability score and take the highest 3 for each. Allows control while maintaining unpredictability.

That's my preferred method, always with 24d6.
