Character Abilities

Players Handbook (page 8)

Each player develops the abilities of his or her character through random number generation (by means of dice rolling) to determine the basic characteristics of the persona, the abilities.

Dungeon Masters Guide (page 12)

(Adaption of) Method III:   4d6 are rolled 6 times. Take the best 3 die from each 4, and then choose the category to which they apply. So roll your 6 numbers and then apply in any order, to suit the class your want to play.
