![]() ![]() Technically, you only need to roll 3d6 to determine an ability score but using more increases the chances to get better scores. You could consider the type of dice to be another variable but, at least in D&D, the d6 is the one that’s used the most.Īnother variable is the amount of dice used. ![]() A character that uses Strength as one of its main scores would be a more efficient choice. Even if you could play a wizard with the stats above, it probably wouldn’t be that fun. I said this variable is important because you pretty much let the dice decide what character you’re going to play. If it doesn’t, you can arrange them however you want. For example, if you roll and the order plays a role, this means the Strength score of your character will be 18, Dexterity will be 12, etc. That’s because each version sets the variables that define the method.Īn important variable is whether the order in which the scores are generated plays a role. That’s the main idea and, as you can see, its explanation is quite abstract. Each time you roll them you determine an ability score. You get an amount of dice, usually d6s, and you roll them a number of times. However, it’s usually a fun method and, even if it has many versions, the main idea remains the same. Also, there are so many different versions of this method that I can’t cover all of them here. Dice add randomness which can be good and bad. Let’s begin with the most chaotic method, which is rolling dice. I am going to mention three of them, which I believe are the most common. There are quite a few ways to determine the ability scores of a character. Each system has a different process for creating a character and they don’t have the same ability scores with D&D. Today I’d like to take a look at the process of determining the ability scores.īefore I start, I’d like to note that this is written with D&D in mind. There are many steps in creating a character.
