If you still wanted to generate them by rolling, you could easily just roll them the usual way you do, look at the +/- you would get, and translate the resulting number from that. Your dies add up to 14? That's a +2, so your score translates to a 7. It would have made the act of rolling for stats a little more complicated, but that's about it. They could also have a system where you don't roll your stats.</blockquote>
