DS4E: Making Characters

Six abilities provide a quick description of your character’s physical and mental characteristics:

• Strength (Str) measures your character’s physical power.
• Constitution (Con) measures your character’s health, stamina, and vital force.
• Dexterity (Dex) measures hand-eye coordination, agility, reflexes, and balance.
• Intelligence (Int) measures how well your character learns and reasons.
• Wisdom (Wis) measures your character’s common sense, perception, self-discipline, and empathy.
• Charisma (Cha) measures your force of personality, persuasiveness, and leadership.

Take these six numbers and assign them to your abilities any way you like: 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10
