What the Ability Scores Mean

The range of ability scores in the general population is 6 to 15 for the 3d6 abilities, and 8 to 20 for the 4d6 abilities/attributes. This gives you an idea of how horrible and great your 3d6 and 4d6 scores are. Without even having any powers or weaknesses, your abilities may be beyond human norms.
