The gist of it is:Every stat starts at 8.The cost for a particular stat, before racial adjustments, are:8: 0 point9: 1 point10: 2 points11: 3 points12: 4 points13: 5 points14: 6 points15: 8 points16: 10 points17: 13 points18: 16 pointsa 25-point game, is, IMO, on the low side of power. A 28-point game is about the same thing as a 4d6-1d game. A 32-point game is a powerful game. A 36-point game is getting very high, power-wise.Hope this helps.AREdit: Although the DMG states that a "standard" game is 25 points, and should be equivalent to the 4d6-1d generation method, I found, by randomly a huge number of stats, that 4d6-1d is more equivalent to 28 points that to 25 points.</blockquote>
