Introduction

Enter your character's ability scores in the input fields.
Click the "Calculate" button to compute the modifiers, skills, and saving throws.

Note: This calculator assumes proficiency in all skills and saving throws. Adjust the results manually if your character has specific proficiencies or limitations.

Ability Scores and Modifiers

Ability scores in D&D 5e represent a character's inherent capabilities. Each ability score has a corresponding modifier that affects skill checks, saving throws, and other game mechanics.

Modifier Calculation:

Modifier = (Ability Score - 10) ÷ 2

Example: An ability score of 16 results in a modifier of +3.

The six core ability scores are:

Strength (STR)
Dexterity (DEX)
Constitution (CON)
Intelligence (INT)
Wisdom (WIS)
Charisma (CHA)

Skills

Skills in D&D 5e represent a character's trained abilities. Each skill is associated with one of the six ability scores. The skill modifier is calculated by adding the ability modifier to the proficiency bonus (if the character is proficient in the skill).

Skill Modifier Calculation:

Skill Modifier = Ability Modifier + Proficiency Bonus (if proficient)

Example: A character with a Dexterity modifier of +3 and a proficiency bonus of +2 has an Acrobatics skill modifier of +5.

The D&D 5e skill list includes:

Acrobatics (DEX)
Animal Handling (WIS)
Arcana (INT)
Athletics (STR)
Deception (CHA)
History (INT)
Insight (WIS)
Intimidation (CHA)
Investigation (INT)
Medicine (WIS)
Nature (INT)
Perception (WIS)
Performance (CHA)
Persuasion (CHA)
Religion (INT)
Sleight of Hand (DEX)
Stealth (DEX)
Survival (WIS)

Saving Throws

Saving throws in D&D 5e are used to resist the effects of spells, traps, and other challenges. Each saving throw is associated with one of the six ability scores. The saving throw modifier is calculated by adding the ability modifier to the proficiency bonus (if the character is proficient in the saving throw).

Saving Throw Modifier Calculation:

Saving Throw Modifier = Ability Modifier + Proficiency Bonus (if proficient)

Example: A character with a Wisdom modifier of +2 and a proficiency bonus of +2 has a Wisdom saving throw modifier of +4.

The three core saving throws are:

Strength (STR)
Dexterity (DEX)
Constitution (CON)
