Soliciting suggestions for a way to generate attributes


#1

I’m looking for ideas to generate a set of 6 (or 4) attributes valued between 0 and 8… originally I was thinking of doing 0-6 and would generate them with 2d12/4. But I’m moving towards the idea of going to 8 for “reasons” lol. These attributes would represent “natural ability”.

I’m working on a little homebrew system/hack for my wife and kids to play in. They felt like using a max of 6 for their base attribute would be too restrictive, so we compromised at 8. The idea is that this would be a roll under d20, supplement the attribute with special abilites to increase the success roll. The max that they would be able to achieve with base attribute + special ability is 19, 20 is autofail, crit would be rolling their attribute+“special ability”.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

D6 + D4 - 2 = 0 to 8, inclusive. It also weights the results to the middle numbers (3, 4, & 5).
