Character Creation: Generate/Assign Abilities In Different Ways

I'm not sure what Franz is doing currently but I'd prefer to choose among these options when defining Ability scores:

• Standard 3d6 - Straight 3d6. You get what you roll and that's that.

• 4d6 and drop lowest - Gives you the highest 3d6 of each 4d6 rolled.

• Point Buy - Provide an edit box to define how many points. Make the default there be 27. Then buy until you run out of points per the following:
  
  Starting Ability Scores: All ability scores start at 8.

  Point Cost: Each ability score costs a certain number of points to increase. The cost is as follows:

  • 1 point to increase from 8 to 9

  • 2 points to increase from 9 to 10

  • 3 points to increase from 10 to 11

  • 4 points to increase from 11 to 12

  • 5 points to increase from 12 to 13

  • 7 points to increase from 13 to 14

  • 9 points to increase from 14 to 15

• Standard array - You get a pool of numbers to assign to your ability scores: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8.

• Balanced heroic array - You get a pool of numbers to assign your ability scores: 17, 15, 13, 12, 8, 7.

I'm sure there are other permutations, but I think these would cover what most users would want.
