Ability Scores refer to various core qualities of a creature. There are a total of six ability scores:

• 

  Strength

• 

  Dexterity

• 

  Constitution

• 

  Intelligence

• 

  Wisdom

• 

  Charisma

• Strength: Physical power
• Dexterity: Agility and finesse
• Constitution: Overall health and endurance
• Intelligence: Rational reasoning and memory
• Wisdom: Common sense and insight
• Charisma: Charm or force of character

An ability score is never less than 1 (except when drained, such as by Devour Intellect), and for common creatures, its natural value can go up to 20. For example, a simple rat may have a Strength of 1, whereas an exceptionally well-trained fighter could have a Strength of 20. Through various enhancements, such as magical spells, elixirs, or special equipment, the score may be increased further. The ability scores of a creature determines its Ability Score Modifiers.
