    Point Buy Tips

    • You have 27 points to spend on ability scores
    • Scores range from 8 (minimum) to 15 (maximum before racial bonuses)
    • Higher scores cost more points (13+ costs extra)
    • Prioritize your class's primary ability score
    • Constitution is useful for all characters (HP and concentration)
    • Don't dump stats below 8 - there's no point cost benefit

    3. 3.Watch your remaining points at the top
