Every character has six abilities that represent the character?s basic strengths and weaknesses, These abilities-Strength, Dexterity, Consitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma-affect everything a hero does, from fighting to using skills.
A score of 10 or 11 in an ability is average. Higher scores give a character bonuses, and lower scores give penalties. When you create your character, you?ll want to put your higher scores into the abilities most closely associated with your character?s class.
