ability_scores: Roll for All Ability Scores

In dndR: Dungeons & Dragons Functions for Players and Dungeon Masters

Roll for All Ability Scores

Description

Rolls for six ability scores using the desired method of rolling (4d6 drop lowest, 3d6, or 1d20). Doesn't assign abilities to facilitate player selection of which score should be each ability for a given character. Prints a warning if the total of all abilities is less than 70 or if any one ability is less than 8.

Usage

ability_scores(method = "4d6", quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

method	(character) string of "4d6", "3d6", or "1d20" ("d20" also accepted). Enter your preferred method of rolling for each ability score ("4d6" drops lowest before summing)
quiet	(logical) whether to print warnings if the total score is very low or one ability score is very low. Defaults to FALSE

Value

(dataframe) two columns and six rows for ability score for each ability

Examples

# Roll ability scores using four d6 and dropping the lowest
dndR::ability_scores(method = "4d6")

# Roll using 3d6 and dropping nothing
dndR::ability_scores("3d6")

# Or if you're truly wild, just roll a d20 for each ability
dndR::ability_scores('d20')
