| - | [[:Races]] provide permanent changes to the total [[:characters#primary stats]] maximums and also provide other bonuses and weaknesses. Your basic stats will be changed by choosing a different race. The difference between the natural stat limit and 20 indicates the bonus/penalty assigned to rolled primary stats. For example, a troll has a maximum strength which is 5 higher than 20-that means he will begin with an additional 5 points added to his strength roll. On the other hand, a troll can never get above 15 in intelligence. This means that your rolled character will have 5 less in intelligence if you choose that race. You should also note that any bonus to an ability can't raise the final number above your racial maximum, and no penalty can give you an ability score less then one; the lowest it can ever get is one. | + | [[:Races]] provide permanent changes to the total [[:characters#primary stats]] maximums and also provide other bonuses and weaknesses.
