Roll your ability scores. You have 6 Ability scores to roll for: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intellect, and Wisdom. You can either roll 4 6-sided die and record the cumulative total of the highest 3 dice 6 times or take the “standard set” which is 15,14,13,12,10,8.
How do you find the ability modifier?
To determine an ability modifier without consulting the table, subtract 10 from the ability score and then divide the total by 2 (round down). Because ability modifiers affect almost every Attack roll, ability check, and saving throw, ability modifiers come up in play more often than their associated scores.

How do you determine your ability score in RuneScape?
You are correct to roll 4d6 and discard the lowest of the 4, as detailed on pages 12-13 of the Player’s Handbook 1. Add together the remaining three dice results, which will give you a number somewhere between 3 and 18. Repeat this process six times and then assign the numbers you get to the six abilities.
How are ability scores determined in D & D 5th edition?
Technically, you only need to roll 3d6 to determine an ability score but using more increases the chances to get better scores. In D&D 5th Edition, for example, the dice rolling method suggested is to roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die. You then add the other 3 and you have one ability score.
