Ability scores are the backbone of
the character. They determine if your character is stupid or brilliant,
ignorant or wise, strong or weak, quick on his feet or slow, healthy or
sickly, charismatic or repellant.
Ability scores are divided into six categories: Strength (Str),
Dexterity (Dex), Constitution (Con), Intelligence (Int), Wisdom (Wis),
Charisma (Cha). See the building guide on how to acquire ability scores. Strength
(Str)
This represents your characters physical strength. Fighters,
barbarians, rangers, paladins, and monks use this ability for their class.
