Those are SO not in the order I remember back when I used to pay.

It was:

STR
INT
WIS
DEX
CON
CHA.

As an added bonus, I remember the coin on the character sheets as being:

Gold
Silver
Copper
Platinum
Electrum

Probably helps to know I played in the late 70’s when campaigns like Keep on the Borderlands was a new thing and came in a box.

Hey, I’m all for nostalgia, but reordering it to separate the physical stats from the mental ones was a very good idea. I’m pretty sure my first game back when I was… 10? (long time ago)… also used the Str Int Wis order. But you know… that order got changed REAL fast… 2e, iirc. And good riddance.

I think it was 3e that changed it so that the stats are grouped as physical, then mental. And decimalized the coinage, for that matter.

Wasn't it copper-silver-electrum-gold-platinum? That would be the order of value as I remember it but I haven't looked at the boxed stuff in years.

You’d think, but nope. Not as I recall.
