You assign those rolls to specific stats before you roll.  Say you want to play a strong fighter who will take a leadership roll.  You'd probably assign one 5d6-2L to strength and the other to constitution.  Leaders are wise and charismatic, so the 4d6-2L rolls would probably be assigned to wisdom and charisma.  Dex and int would get the 3d6 rolls.  After you roll, you can swap any two of those stats, so if you rolled a 17 wisdom on the 4d6-L, but a 13 strength on the 5d6-2L, you could swap those rolls. You'd have the above average wisdom you wanted, while still being very personally strong.  I also have a 78 point minimum, which averages to 13 in each stat, so if you rolled a 17, 12, 14, 9, 12, 12 which adds up to 76, you'd be 2 point short.  So you'd roll 1d6 twice with strength being 1, dex being 2, con being 3, etc. and add +1 to whichever stat you rolled.  It maxes at 18 since this is before racial bonuses(or whatever bonuses depending on edition and optional rules), so if you rolled two 1s you'd have to re-roll one of them since the 17 strength could only gain a single +1 before it reaches 18.Using that method, it's pretty hard not to get a playable PC that meets your vision, while still being randomly rolled.</blockquote>
