Stats - Pregens vs My Characters

[Matt2VK]

Been trying to reverse engineering the PFS pre-gen characters to make sure I know what the heck I'm doing when creating a character.

Ran into this problem. All my characters have a bonus total of +16 points to spread out between the stats vs the 18 points the pregens have spread out over the stats.

So what am I missing?

Base starting stats: 10
+4 points - Race
+4 points - Background
+4 points - class
+4 points - 1st level bonus

leaves me at +16 points to spread to stats.

Most pregens have a
18(+8)
14(+4)
14(+4)
12(+2)
10(+0) for the rest.

Total of +18 points.

If you go human it is:

Base starting stats: 10
+4 points - Race
+4 points - Background
+2 points - class
+8 points - 1st level bonus

So you over-calculated class by +2, but under-calculated bonus by +4.

Thanks.

Knew I was doing something wrong. Just couldn't figure it out.
