Hey all ... sorry if this has been asked and answered but ...

This is my first time creating a LG character and my first time in a point buy system

I am creating a Dwarven Barbarian and am trying to figure out his abilities....

Do I add his racial ability mods (+2 con, -2 Cha) before or after I figure out his stats?

So ... do I start with a 10 con and 6 Cha or do I start with all 8's and then once I have bought all of my stats apply the +2 Con and -2 Cha???

LGCS v4.2, p.9, second column (top):

Apply racial adjustments to abilities adjustments after the base scores are determined.

Seems crystal clear to me.

Spend your 28 points to purchase attributes from base scores of 8, then apply the racial modifiers afterward.
