Attribute Generation

Note for any ability score that due to racial adjustments starts below 8, requires an investment of 1 pt to raise the ability score for each factor until one reaches 8, then progress proceeds normally as above. So to move from a "7" to an "8" costs 1 pt. A "6" to an "8" costs 2 pts. Moving a "5" to an "8" would require 3 pts. Ability scores can NOT be raised above 18 in the character generation stage.
