Calculating

ABILITY_MOD   = (POINTS // 2) - 5
ABILITY_SCORE = POINTS + ABILITY_MOD

Sample Result

STR  15    (+2)  # 17
DEX  14    (+2)  # 16
CON  13    (+1)  # 14
INT  12    (+1)  # 13
WIS  10    (+0)  # 10
CHA   8    (-1)  #  7

Proficiency

• Points are allocated to your proficiency as you level up
• Your class(es) determine the gear you get a profficiency bonus with
• When multiclassing, you reduce the obtained proficiencies of your class

PROFICIENCY = ((LVL // 5) * 1) + 2
