Frequently Asked Questions
What is 4d6 drop lowest?

What is the standard array?
The standard array is a fixed set of scores (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) that you assign to your abilities. It ensures balanced characters and fair party composition.
How does point buy work?

Which method should I use?
4d6 drop lowest is great for heroic characters. Standard array ensures balance. Point buy is best for optimized builds. 3d6 straight is for old-school challenge.
