Hell, Avg score is 10.5 with a std deviation of 3 meaning that 67% of rolls will not even hit the 15 mark.Hell, even 4d6 drop 1 on average will net you scores of 16, 14, 13, 12, 10 and 9 if my brute force computations are right (simulate 1000 rolls and see what the results are).There's something very, very weird in the rolling method recommended as neither 3d6 or 4d6 drop 1 are good methods if you want to play the game as Gygaxm recommends.</blockquote>
