How Point Buy Works in D&D 5e
The point buy system gives you 27 points to distribute across your six ability scores. Each score starts at 8 and can be raised to a maximum of 15 before racial bonuses. Scores 9-13 cost 1 point each to raise by 1. Raising to 14 costs 2 points (7 total from 8), and raising to 15 costs another 2 points (9 total from 8).
Point Buy vs Rolling
Point buy ensures balanced characters and fair play at the table. Unlike rolling 4d6 drop lowest, every character built with point buy has the same total investment. This makes it popular for organized play and campaigns where balance matters.
