Ability boosts and the optional die rolling method

[Ferkill]

So our GM wants to use the optional method of rolling ability scores. I realize that characters get one less free ability boost for Ancestry and Background. What I'm wondering about is the ability boost for class. It doesn't say one way or the other if this still applies.

Anybody have ideas regarding this?

The rolling system says exactly what it grants:

You roll stats, apply Ancestry modifiers, and then apply one Background modifier. That's it.

It doesn't say to take into account the bonus from your class so I assume you wouldn't.

Like the recipe is just roll, apply ancestry, apply background, record.

I could see "also apply class" being a popular variant but you're probably already picking a background that will apply to your most important attribute.

That's the way I read it, but there was a very lengthy discussion about it.
