Generate NPC characters with optimal attributes based on Class (and Race?).

We need to generate (9) Ability Scores for our character. In the physical world, we roll dice. Here, we'll mimick that process by generating random numbers.

To generate these Ability Scores for our character, we will perform the following steps for each Ability Score.

To generate an Ability Score, follow these steps:

1. generate four random numbers between 1 and 6
2. drop a single result that is the lowest
3. add the three remaining values

Once we have generated (9) Ability Scores, we can begin assigning them.

• assign the resulting scores to Ability Scores according to Class priorities or custom user configuration, with highest scores assigned to lower priority (e.g. scores: 24, 11 -> Priority 1 = 24, Priority 2 = 11)
• Since there are (9) Ability Scores to assign, if there are less than (9) Ability Scores configured with a priority, after assigning highest scores based on priorities, randomly assign the remaining scores to Ability Scores missing a configured priority
• support undefined Class, Race. Some NPCs have no Class or Race

• Melee
• Ranged
• Strength
• Dexterity
• Constitution
• Intelligence
• Wisdom
• Charisma
• Luck

Allow the user to rank the priority of the Ability Scores. When a user selects a Class, the current Ability assignments should clear/reset. The Abilitys should update to reflect the new Class priority configuration.

The Class Ability priorities should be user modifiable after selecting a Class.

The user chosen Race should support adding a bonus to Ability score(s).

Automatically calculate and add a bonus to the rolls based on

• Race
• Background
• Culture

Support a user-configurable bonus field for adding bonuses to the Ability scores.

• The bonus will be applied to all rolls.
• The bonus adds to any Racial, Background, or Culture bonuses.
