Ability Score Rolling

When creating a character, starting ability scores (prior to racial adjustment) are randomly determined by choosing from among several predetermined sets of values.

It is possible to reroll until desirable scores result. Each reroll randomly selects from the same pool of available combinations as the initial roll.

Possible Values

Ability scores are not rolled individually. Instead, all six values are selected simultaneously, by randomly picking a row from the following table:

Primary	Secondary		A	B	C
18	13	13	10	10	8	72
18	13	13	10	8	10	72
18	13	13	8	10	10	72
17	14	13	10	10	10	74
17	13	14	10	10	10	74
17	13	13	11	11	10	75
17	13	13	11	10	11	75
16	16	12	10	10	10	74
16	15	13	11	11	9	75
16	14	14	11	10	10	75
16	13	15	11	11	9	75
16	12	16	10	10	10	74
15	15	13	12	11	10	76
15	15	13	11	10	12	76
15	14	13	12	12	11	77
15	13	15	12	11	10	76
15	13	15	11	10	12	76
15	13	14	12	12	11	77

Note: Clerics can not roll the 16/13/15/11/11/9 distribution.

Order of the Ability Scores

The table above gives all possible ability score combinations for a generic character. Depending on a character's class, the values selected will be automatically reordered as follows:

• The primary ability score is always the highest.
• The secondary ability scores are the second and third highest, in no particular order.
• The remaining three scores (A, B and C) will be placed in a specific ability, according to the character's class:
  

Class	Primary	Secondary		A	B	C
Control Wizard	Int	Wis	Cha	Dex	Con	Str
Devoted Cleric	Wis	Str	Cha	Int	Con	Dex
Great Weapon Fighter	Str	Con	Dex	Int	Cha	Wis
Guardian Fighter	Con	Str	Dex	Wis	Int	Cha
Hunter Ranger	Dex	Wis	Str	Cha	Int	Con
Oathbound Paladin	Con	Wis	Cha	Dex	Int	Str
Scourge Warlock	Cha	Int	Con	Str	Dex	Wis
Trickster Rogue	Dex	Str	Cha	Int	Con	Wis
