Generally the minimum possible ability Score is 1, and the maximum is 20. A score of 10 is considered average for a humanoid creature, and player characters can't start with any score lower than 8. Ability scores are bought with points during [[Character Creation]], and can be permanently increased through the [[Ability Improvement]] class feature (presented in the list of [[Feats|feats]]), though this cannot raise them above 20. They may also be increased through magical effects, though these are rare. Some monsters and magical creatures may have scores higher than 20. | Generally the minimum possible ability Score is 1, and the maximum is 20.
