How to Determine Ability Scores
When determining ability scores you start with a default of 8 points and have 30 points to distribute at your own leisure. 

Points for 9-14 cost one point each

Points for 15-16 cost 2 points each

Points for 17-18 cost 3 points each

then you apply racial modifiers

Ability Score Point Cost Modifier
8 0 -1
9 1 -1
10 2 0
11 3 0
12 4 +1
13 5 +1
14 6 +2
15 8 +2
16 10 +3
17 13 +3
18 16 +4

Every 4 levels (4, 8, 12, 16 & 20) you can add one point to any of your ability scores (not point buy, just one point).

will there be an option for dice roll ability scores too?  No, but it's certainly possible to create a stat-modifying NPC with the toolset if you aren't happy with the point-buy.
