Follow these steps to roll stats for your character. Roll 4 x 6 sided dice. Remove the lowest dice result. Add up the remaining numbers to get an ability score. Write down this ability score on note paper. Repeat these steps until you have 6 ability scores. Assign a score to each attribute on your character sheet.

How do you roll character stats in D&D?

To roll for each stat, roll four 6-sided dice (or 4d6 for short). Afterward, add the 3 highest dice to get your stat! For example, let’s say my rolls are as follows: 5, 4, 3, 1. The highest three dice are 5, 4, and 3, meaning my stat total is 12!.

How do you roll ability scores?

An ability score is determined by rolling 4d6 and discard the lowest score. This is repeated six times and each score is placed next to the ability where they are wanted by the player. This method tends to produce higher than average scores, which is more appropriate for a heroic character.
