Generating Stats: Narrow Band

This method of generating stats has a linear probability and uses padding to guarantee the values rolled fall within a smaller range than the normal d6 bell curves would produce. It has two variations for a low band or high band.

Low: Roll 6d8 and add 7 to each value. Produces stats between 8 and 15.

High: Roll 6d8 and add 10 to each value. Produces stats between 11 and 18.

You can fiddle with the die size or number added to shift the band around, but a d8 gives the most interesting spread of values while staying within the common 3 to 18 range for stats.
