Rolling ability scores

James Maliszewski made a post about ability score generation. These days, I favor the 3d6-in-order method. You could give players the option of using an inverted bell curve to satisfy their inner min-maxer without out resorting to any sort of point-buys or dice swapping:

Dice Roll (3d6)	Ability Score	Probability
3	11	0.5%
4	12	1.4%
5	13	2.8%
6	14	4.6%
7	15	6.9%
8	16	9.7%
9	17	11.6%
10	18	12.5%
11	3	12.5%
12	4	11.6%
13	5	9.7%
14	6	6.9%
15	7	4.6%
16	8	2.8%
17	9	1.4%
18	10	0.5%
