Generation Method
Roll 3d6 for each of your character’s ability scores.

The order of these results will not change, but the list can be applied beginning in either direction -- starting with Strength or starting with Charisma.

Macro
Please use the following macro to generate your ability scores:

[3d6], [3d6], [3d6], [3d6], [3d6], [3d6]

Prime Requisite Bonuses
I want to avoid perpetuating the built-in advantages characters with high ability scores already have, and instead try rewarding characters that are successful despite working at a disadvantage.

As an experiment, we are going to ignore the current Prime Requisite Modifiers chart from the book and use the following matrix instead:

In the event a class has multiple prime requisites, each is considered separately, halving the shown award (See: Rounding).

Intelligence
In the event a general Arcana or Lore roll is ever requested, the standard -3 to +3 modifiers from Intelligence can be applied, as appropriate:

Dexterity
The 'Individual Initiative' rule will not be used in this game.

The 'Initiative' modifier under the Dexterity ability score will not be applied to the initiative outcome, but can factor into the order in which a character will act on their sides turn.

Notes:

Because the Individual Initiative rules are not being used, Halfling characters (by means of their 'Initiative Bonus' racial trait) will be allowed to act first during their sides turn in the initiative order.
