CofD breaks it up on two axes, Physical/Mental/Social and Power/Finesse/Resistance for a total of nine stats, which seems neat theoretically but in practice since it's a modern game you can almost always dump Strength.

What exactly is the best CR for a "goblin" level monster to threaten CR3 characters? I know goblins are CR1/4, so I imagine a CR 1 or so monster would be a good choice, but with how wonky 5e monster math can be I know it might not be such an exact science.

Costume Fairy Adventures has Moxie, Focus, Craft, Grace, and Shine, I think that's a good starting point.

There is the "Goblin Boss" stat-block in the MM you could reference. Or reflavor any of the higher CR Hobgoblin's as a normal Gob.

Assuming you mean level 3 characters. A pair of Bugbears could work. As they are Goblinoids CR 1 and decently tough. Alternatively a Goblin boss and a few lesser Goblin underlings could work.

Y'all remember the 2e Skills and Powers book that broke each ability score down into subabilities? I think there were two for each ability.

I wouldn’t even use attributes. Just select skills. If your skill comes up in play, you get to do something special. If not, you get a mundane result.

y'all are just listing adjectives the secret to fixing ability scores is to realize that there's no reason the mechanic that improves your effectiveness should be the same mechanic that gates your access to power lists the other secret is that the first thing is called "level" and the second thing is called "class" and that unless you're going to make further meaningful subdivisions you don't need anything else in that space
