Unlocking Your Hero: A Simple Guide to 5e Point Buy

Tired of unreliable dice rolls deciding your D&D character's fate? Enter Point Buy, a flexible and balanced alternative to rolling ability scores in 5th Edition. Point Buy lets you craft your character with a pool of 27 points, assigning them to your Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

Here's the breakdown: scores start at 8, and you can increase them, but the cost increases as you go higher. Raising a score from 8 to 13 costs 1 point per increase. Boosting a score from 14 to 15 costs 2 points. The maximum score you can reach with Point Buy is 15.

Why choose Point Buy? It guarantees a balanced character, preventing excessively weak or overpowered stat arrays. This ensures everyone at the table has a fair shot and encourages strategic decision-making. Spend your points wisely and forge the hero you envision!
