You roll that many, total up to 3 of them (usually the highest three, but it's up to the player), and that's your score for that ability. Helps to enforce the stereotypes of the races by generally giving them the expected strengths and weaknesses. The idea is to be more simulationist, rather than the goal of the UA method which was to be narrativist and give you the class you wanted.</blockquote>
