'Tis true that the new 5E rules are very generous in granting ability score increases. Is it something like 10 points by 19th level? That is a lot! It makes me wonder, what if we do the random roll but can't actually see our specific scores, just a simple adjectival rating like "above average"? How would that feel, when we've all been so conditioned to seeing numbers? I'll have to type that into an Excel sheet sometime and see how it goes.
