EDIT: Hello thief!
I love using this method for campaigns. Saves my fellow players from complaining when I roll 14, 17, 16, 12, 17, 17 with the standard 3.5 method.
To Jal Dorak:
The order is Str, Int, Wis, Dex, Con, Cha (old school 1st Ed AD&D).
Your first character is definitely a thief. Your second is a stereotypical fragile magic user.

Half-elven Magic-User/Thief. Again with the 14 CON. He'll never get into any brawls, but this one might be a keeper.

Silver-tongued thief it is, I guess
STR - 12 (5, 5, 2)
INT - 11 (4, 4, 3)
WIS - 7 (4, 2, 1)
DEX - 10 (5, 4, 1)
CON - 10 (6, 2, 2)
CHA - 14 (6, 5, 3)
Being rather unfortunately ignorant of the older editions of AD&D, I have no idea what sort of character that would suggest(beyond a probably mediocre one).
Browsing other posts, perhaps a Thief though I'm not sure if the perfectly average DEX is good enough for that.
And because I'm addicted I'll roll another set;
STR - 13 (5, 4, 4)
INT - 8 (4, 3, 1)
WIS - 11 (6, 4, 1)
DEX - 16 (6, 6, 4)
CON - 15 (6, 5, 4)
CHA - 11 (4, 4, 3)
That one says Thief to me too, though Fighter doesn't look impossible.
One each for Mssrs. Gygax and Arneson, may they rest in peace.

...Yeah I got an 18....but oh my this guy need heavy armor....
Half-Orc Cleric/Fighter maybe half-elf.....going with half-elf just for kicks.
Ok well now if we are going 1st ed and including UA we need one more stat.
Comeliness - 13
He's a handsome half-elf aint he....except it gets adjusted for race (half-Elf = +1, cha of 7 though means a -1) So no adjustment after all.
Now it's first ed, time for percentile strength roll - 56. Decent.

Anyone looking for a healer who can fight?
((Recalling that 1st ed had stat mins and then little hidden rules for stats like here or lower you can only be X class for a stat I will need to make sure I qualify for both classes, I think I am fine for fighter but that dex scares me, I might actually be stuck in the here or lower you can only be a cleric thing....I will check tonight.))

Hmmm. I'd say maybe ranger or fighter.
I doubt you have the stats for ranger, remember first ed has stat mins, and ranger had some tough ones, I believe both wis and int are too low to qualify actually.
did first ed order the stats differently than 3.5 cause lots of people are following Str with Int etc.
Indeed they did.
Str - Int - Wis - Dex - Con - Cha - (Com)

Now it's first ed, time for percentile strength roll - 56. Decent.Only fighters, rangers, cavaliers and paladins get % strength scores in 1e. Sorry.
:)
Agreed...sorry I ment to make him a Cleric/fighter I skipped that in his name....Cleric/fighter asssuming I can be both, mini-stat thing worries me, my dex is pretty low and I may not qualify for fighter, but my int is also junk...so I may not qualify for anything. Since if I am denied fighter because of dex, (where it will say here or lower can only be a cleric), but with my int it might say "here or lower can only be a fighter". At that point it is reroll time.
For now he is a Cleric/Fighter, I will look up whether he qualifies for either, neither, or anything else.

Happen to have my 1e PHB handy. (Planning a 1e campaign soon). 6 is the minimum dex for every class except cleric, thief or assassin. Clerics can have a 3, thieves a minimum of 9, and assassins a minimum of 12 dex. Half orcs can have a max dex of 14, dwarves a 17.

Half orc paladin? Even if half orcs could be paladins, they'd never qualify as there is a 17 Cha minimum.

I'd bet his Cha is too high to be a half-orc even. Never mind his Con being too low.

You'd have to re-roll. You do not qualify for any class in 1e with these scores. With a 3 Con, you can only be an illusionist, but they have a minimum 15 intelligence requirement.
On the up-side, you get to re-roll an awful character!
Ok next guy, just for fun

Rogue, maybe Assassin. Elven Rogue, Half-Orc assassin would be my thoughts. Since you have your book handy is that Cha an issue for a class?
Otherwise how about elven Fighter/Magic-User/Thief? Or the classic Fighter/Assassin Half-Orc.

This thread has me looking at the 1e ability charts now. I see why 4d6 drop the lowest was the most popular option back then (it's what we used as well). 3d6 straight closes off a lot of options unless you are an incredibly lucky roller!

5 charisma can only be an assassin. The 11 int is the minimum for an assassin, and the 12 strength likewise is the minimum. One lower in either and you'd be forced a re-roll. If the DM doesn't allow evil, you'd have to re-roll as well.

Honestly we used the superchart sometimes because of how brutally hard it was to roll a paladin or any class you wanted to play.
