Frequently Asked Questions
The point buy system allows you to purchase ability scores using a pool of 27 points. Scores start at 8 and can be increased up to 15. The cost increases as scores get higher.
For scores 8-13, each increase costs 1 point. For scores 14-15, each increase costs 2 points. So a score of 14 costs 5+2=7 points, and 15 costs 5+4=9 points.
No, in the standard point buy system, scores are limited to 8-15. Racial bonuses are applied after point buy.
