Determining Ability Scores

We are using Point Buy. The 1 Change I am Making is that you may choose to drop your 8 to a 7 and instead take a 16 as your highest. You may do this only once.
Each Ability Score benefits different things from spell casting ability to weapon damage. These are generally what each is good for and who it benefits most.
