Here are some small tables with all of the starting attribute possibilities. Pick a row and arrange the numbers how you want...

11 11 10
12 10 10
12 11 9
12 12 8
13 11 8
13 10 9
14 9. 9
14 10 8
15 9. 8
16 8. 8

Elves:...... -2ST +2DX
Dwarves:.... +2ST -2DX
Hobgoblins:. -2ST -2DX -2IQ
Reptile men: +6ST


Goblins and halflings (7 combinations, 28 possible arrangements):

10 10 10
11 10 9
11 11 8
12 9. 9
12 10 8
13 9. 8
14 8. 8

These are cool...I hope Steve keeps the random character generation tables, might have to tweak them, but we use them all the time. Seems people don't always know what they want to play right off the bat. Once they have played a couple of times they start to get a concept of the PC they want to be. I like that you have the race adjustments right there so no leafing threw pages to find what an elf gets you.
