It was something like:1: Roll 3d6 in order.2: You can raise your prerequisite by 1 point for every 2 points you reduce another stat.3: You cannot reduce Charisma. You cannot reduce a stat below 9 (I think).The RC was my first introduction to DND which might be why I still kind of like this method (or the idea of it at least since I don't use it for my 5e games). Stat bonuses were less important for basic DND and only went up to +3 on an 18 (9-12 gave a modifier of 0, 13-15 was +1, 16-17 was +2) but the ability to say, I want to play a wizard and being able to reduce that 15 strength you rolled down to a 9, if desired, so that you can boost your 10 intelligence to 13 helped mitigate the randomness of rolls.</blockquote>
