11 = 3 points
12 = 4 points
13 = 5 points
14 = 7 points
15 = 9 points
The 4d6 keep 3 system
The
Four 6-sided dice will be rolled for each ability, and the result of the three highest values will be your ability score.
This expands the ability's score boundaries to a 3–18 range instead of 8–15 using the point buy system and gives an extra chance to get high abilities score for all your abilities.

During your character's life, your abilities will get a bonus depending on the actions you execute the most in the
game.
Twice a day, a system runs to perform this calculation and cache your character's ability bonuses.
The ability calculation first calculates how many bonus points it should distribute depending on how many actions you performed since your character was created.
Then it calculates a percentage from various statistics to compute your final bonuses.

Then it calculates a percentage from various statistics to compute your final bonuses.
This system follows two maximum rules:
- A maximum of 200 bonus points will be distributed for all your abilities.
- Each ability bonus maximum is 60.
Example
A character with 50 bonus points to distribute and has done 30% of the actions which increase strength, 50% of the
actions which increase dexterity and 20% of actions which increase concentration.
