Tired of rolling low stats? Point Buy is your friend! In D&D 5e, Point Buy offers a balanced alternative to rolling for ability scores. You start with 27 points and 'buy' your stats. Each ability begins at 8 and can be raised to a maximum of 15 before applying racial bonuses.

Here's the cost breakdown:

* 8: 0 points
* 9: 1 point
* 10: 2 points
* 11: 3 points
* 12: 4 points
* 13: 5 points

**Strategy Tip:** Focus on your character's key abilities. Are you a wizard? Prioritize Intelligence. A fighter? Strength or Dexterity are key. Don't neglect Constitution; everyone needs hit points! Point Buy allows you to craft a character tailored to your vision, avoiding the extremes of lucky rolls or crippling weaknesses. Embrace the power of choice!
