If we are going to have a conversation, perhaps singing off of the same song sheet may help. Spikepit hits the books in a quest to resolve his inner D&D conflict through hacking rules old and new. Taking Chapter 7 "using abilty scores" from WOTC's Basic Rules Dungeons and Dragons as a starting point.....lets take a deep dive.
