Switch the roles of classes and stats. You have 15 Fighter, 13 Wizard, 7 Cleric, etc, and you are a Dexterity. You level up in Dexterity and get Dexteiry Features and learn Dexterity-specific feats, etc.

Will this solve problems? No, but it will give you new, exciting, different problems!
You've just described d20 modern. Never describe d20 modern. Do it the other way (your stats are Fighter, Mage etc and Fighter stars with maximum in Fighter) and you've described Danger Patrol. Always describe Danger Patrol.

...

Look, goblin thread, I have a lot of words I could post here about ability scores and how they interact with class based systems and are only needed in specific circumstances and why the big six specifically are a bad fit for a "generic" set of ability scores and it's taking a lot of restraint not to start typing and never stop. I'll probably type up a bunch in the chat thread this weekend and drop a link. But basically if you're making a goblin RPG with ability scores they should be stuff like "Sneakiness" and "Malevolence" rather than "Dexterity".

throw that under "Cuteness"

Sneakiness is for sneakin
Malevolence is for bitin and knifin
Tinkering is for breakin and makin
Cuteness is for getting away with poo poo
Skrinky Skronky Skree Skraw is obvious.

Malevolence is also for intimidating. I was trying to work out what dodging and backflips fall under but realised that's obviously Skrinky Skronky Skree Skraw

comeliness was a gross old optional seventh stat for D&D and yeah basically comeliness : charisma as shortstackliness : cuteness look I promise at least one old person read my terribly niche in-joke and thought "lol"
