Iconic Ability Score Generation Method?

[kelvingreen]

I suspect the answer is likely to be "the Paizo developers made them up", but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what methods may have been used to generate the iconic PCs?

We're going to be doing Carrion Hill in a few weeks, but only one of the players has picked one of the provided characters, and the rest want to generate their own. I want to make sure everyone starts on an equal footing.

First they picked some rays of sunshine from a summer sky,
Then they added three drops of reason and drive,
Lastly they added just a pinch of gritty realism.

Shake thoroughly - for external use only.

No idea! :D I would guess they are 15 point buy and use all the standard rules from the three core books.

The same.
They are all made the same way.
Elite NPC array at 15 buy points: 15,14,13,12,10,8
Seltyiel: 12,15(+2 race),14,13(+1 4th level),8,10
Harsk: 14,15(+1 4th level),13(+2 race),10,12(+2 race),8(-2 race)
Merisiel: 12,15(+2 race),14(-2 race),8(+2 race),13,10 they forgot +1 4th level
Kyra: 13,8,14,10,15(+2 race, +1 4th level),12

WARNING! These pregenerated character have NO traits and NO Favored class bonuses.
Remember to give them that too!

Aha! I tried to reverse engineer them, but they weren't consistent, so I'd assumed they'd been rolled. I didn't consider that the 4th level bonus had been forgotten on Merisiel.

Thanks!
