D&D 5e Attribute Mini-Game Version 1.1

[Step 1] The party shares an attribute pool.

My table would not port proper into this here field. Basically create a 7x7 chart. Leave "A1" empty, and have enough space for three numbers in each cell. Column headers: STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA. Row headers: STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA.

[Step 2] Take turns rolling 3d6+3d4, keep best 3 results. Record the best 3 dice results in the cell provided for each attribute cells trio of numbers. Fill out the attribute pool in order, as if reading a book, in English. Alternatively the DM, or another player may create this chart ahead of time.

3d6 and 3d4, keep 3 best:

[Step 3] When the chart is finished, each player rolls 1d20 on the Ability Card Chart, and gains an Ability Card to be used later. Players may choose the order the cards are played.

15. [Queens Compassion] Roll 1d12, consult the chart above, but instead replace two results with 5's.

20. [DMs Girlfriend] Select one column/row result set, and replace two of the results with 5's. Create a +1 to any attribute under 15 card to be used in step 5.

[Step 4] Each player selects a column set, or a row set.

[Step 5] Attribute cards are resolved as a party via voting, unless specified otherwise.

[Step 6] After looking over these options, selecting a class, and noting what saves that class is proficient in, each player may either: (a) switch two scores, (b) replace up to two non-proficient scores with 13's, (c) replace one proficient score with a 15, or (d) with the permission of target player replace target players Constitution score with a 15.

Optional selections that could be used to nudge character creation:
(x) select a non-human race
(x) select a magic-using class
