This is a point-buy system to replace the traditional 3d6 attribute roll for AD&D-based role playing games. Select the attribute scores that you want, just make sure you have 0 or more purchase points left over. You can increase the bonus for more powerful characters (you should include a bonus of at least 6 to prevent rounding from giving you a less-than-average character).

This system is statistically identical to the bell curve generated by the average die roll. Here’s the full chart.
