Point Buy
27-point system for deterministic ability score generation, with scores ranging from 8 to 15 (before racial bonuses).
Point Buy — Ability Score Generation
Point buy is a deterministic method for generating ability scores that gives players control over their character's stats.
Rules:
- Start with a score of 8 in all six ability scores.
- You have 27 points to spend.
- Scores can be raised from 8 to 15 before racial modifiers.
- Scores cannot be raised above 15 using point buy (racial modifiers can push above this).
Cost table:
| Score | Cost |
|---|---|
| 8 | 0 |
| 9 | 1 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 11 | 3 |
| 12 | 4 |
| 13 | 5 |
| 14 | 7 |
| 15 | 9 |
Standard Array (alternative): 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 — assign these six values to your six ability scores in any order.
Rolled scores (alternative): Roll 4d6, drop the lowest die, record the sum. Repeat six times and assign to scores.
