I will use the basic method 1, but I may be forced to swap stats to qualify for a class
(I will also determine height, weight, and age now in case those ever matter.)
STR:
Dice Roll:
3d6 1, 5, 2 Total = 8

DEX:
Dice Roll:
3d6 2, 4, 3 Total = 9

CON:
Dice Roll:
3d6 3, 1, 3 Total = 7

INT:
Dice Roll:
3d6+1 (1, 3, 5)+1 Total = 10

WIS:
Dice Roll:
3d6-1 (6, 1, 1)-1 Total = 7

CHA:
Dice Roll:
3d6 1, 4, 5 Total = 10

Height Adjust:
Dice Roll:
1d6+38 (2)+38 Total = 40

Age Adjust:
Dice Roll:
3d12+40 (10, 11, 4)+40 Total = 65

Weight Adjust:
Dice Roll:
5d4+72 (3, 4, 3, 1, 3)+72 Total = 86

Ugh, those stats are bad. I'll have to be a pure rogue because I don't have quite enough strength for fighter class, unless you permit me to swap the CHA and DEX scores.
Rolling Starting gold:
Dice Roll:
2d6 4, 6 Total = 10

Alternate starting gold (if I multi-class):
Dice Roll:
5d4 3, 1, 1, 4, 1 Total = 10

Either way, my character is going to be hiding in the back with a crossbow. He's slightly below average, which makes him easily blend into the background.

Those stats are bad enough that I'll let you reroll all your attributes. Everyone gets one free reroll for attributes.

Hehe non-spell casting Paladin it is!

from Desea is a human country where this story starts. It's a land of farmsteads and fisheries, and produces much of the food that is traded throughout the continent. They also have a large merchant class. Few warriors come from Desea, however, as most of it's citizens are too polite and urbane to engage in that sort of thing. Law is considered very important, and the people there don't follow any one individual deity, and in general prefer to pray to the whole pantheon.

therefore Human and Lawful Good as he should be

Given my mighty +1 int from being a gnome, and the wis penalty, those both end up at 10, which is ample to be an illusionist. However, the dex requirement is way off, so I'll use my reroll on that (since that will at least potentially allow me to be a better rogue or if a mracle occurs the illusionist.)

Reoll for dex:
Dice Roll:
3d6 1, 2, 4 Total = 7

Hmm, perhaps that particular reroll will be best ignored. So, clumsy but robust rogue it is - unless there's a minimum total bonus we are working on or I can swap the DEX and CON scores to qualify for illusionist and become a better rogue.

After mods for gnomishness-

STR: 9
CON: 16
DEX: 11
INT: 10
WIS: 10
CHA: 8

Starting rogue cash:
Dice Roll:
2d6*10 (6, 6)*10 Total = 120

I forgot to apply the +1/-1 for INT and WIS. Also, is stat swapping allowed, and which stats can be swapped?

We are pretty shocking at this stat rolling lark - I fear our greatest challenge will be RNG persecution if this is a representative example.

This amazing rolling is beautiful. And no, stat swapping is not allowed.
