But before you do that, you get 3 points to spend on your ability scores. Spending 1 point allows you control over the toss of one die (most likely you will make the 1d8 an 8). Spending 2 points allows control over two dice (most likely the d6 and the d8). Spending 3 points allows complete control, and you can have an 18 in that score if you wish.Basically, 1 point ensures you will not have a negative modifier in that score, while 2 points ensures that you will excel in the ability.I find 3 total points fits my style (or rather, satisfies my need for control against my desire for thrills), but you can adjust it to any number of points to fit your own style. I've done 5 points before and that results in powerful characters by my standards, equivalent to maybe a 32 point buy.* The distribution curve for this unconventional method of rolling is slightly "flatter" than the 3d6 curve, but I think it's insignificant.</blockquote>
