For dedicated spellcaster classes, Primary Ability is the same as [[Spells#Spellcasting_Ability_and_Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability]]. For non-spellcasters, this is a recommendation, but not the only viable way to build a character. For example, {{Class|Figher}}s can be effective specializing in Dexterity using [[Finesse]] weapons and ranged weapons.
