Baldur's Gate 3 uses the Point Buy system, with 27 points available to spend on your ability scores. The following rules apply during Character Creation:

  • You may not reduce any ability score below 8
  • You may not increase any ability score above 15 (before bonuses from your race)
  • Each ability score increase (before bonuses from your race) up to 13 costs one Ability Point; 14 and 15 each cost two Ability Points

At higher levels (4, 8, and 12), you can increase these ability scores via the Ability Score Increase feature. You may also find certain magical items that can increase or decrease an ability score.
