Your physical and mental attributes. They affect most of your rolls. | |||
Baldur's Gate 3 uses a point buy system, with 27 points available to spend on your ability scores. The following rules apply during character creation: | |||
* You may not reduce any ability score below 8. | |||
* You may not increase any ability score above 15. | |||
* Each ability score increase up to 13 costs '''one''' Ability Point; 14 and 15 each cost '''two''' Ability Points. 15 is the maximum that can be purchased. | |||
* Two bonuses are applied at the end, one at +2 and another +1. This allows a starting ability as high as 17. | |||
At higher levels (4, 8, and 12), you can increase these ability scores via the Ability Score Increase feature. You may also find certain magical items that can increase or decrease an ability score. | |||
