Ability Score Dice Rolls

The Player Handbook’s three Ability Score methods are now fully supported. We have always supported Standard Array and Point Buy, but now you can roll your dice, in the Character Builder, to determine your Ability Scores. Just select the “Manual/Rolled” option in the “Choose a Generation Method” and the Dice Roll Groups functionality will be available.

Now you can always roll your IRL dice and manually enter the result, but if you want to use your spiffy D&D Beyond Digital Dice, you can. Listed below is a summary of the functionality of this delightful little feature.

Dice Roller in the builder: 

* You can now toggle to enable/disable Digital Dice from the HOME section of the character builder, as well as the Preferences pane sidebar in the Character Sheet.

* When Digital Dice are enabled on a character, the Dice Fab is now available for custom/adhoc rolling from every section of the Character Builder.

* When on the ABILITIES section of the Builder, and you select the “Manual/Rolled” option for ability score selection, You will now be able to interact with the “Dice Roll Groups” collapsible UI. (if Digital Dice is set to disabled when you arrive at this section, you will see a prompt to enable Digital Dice which presents the  “Dice Roll Groups” if enabled.

The Dice Roll Groups UI:

* ADD GROUP: allows you to create up to 10 groups of up to 6 rolls in each group.
* RESET GROUP: resets the entire group as a whole
* APPLY ABILITY SCORES: applies any scores that have been rolled and set ( rolls with totals but no Stat assigned do not unset any current scores, but rolls with Stats assigned will overwrite any previously assigned value)
* DELETE GROUP: delete entire group

* ROLL: Each Roll uses the 4d6kh3 roll rule and activates the Digital Dice library to roll and provide roll data  

* PHB rule text 

* Each Roll displays the Roll Total and the values of each d6 that was rolled, displaying the “kept” die value in blue and the “discarded” die value in grey

* STAT: After a Roll is made, you can now select an Ability Stat from the dropdown attached to that Roll

* Once Rolls and Stat selections are made ( at least 1 and up to 6 Rolls with a Stat ) You can use the APPLY ABILITY SCORES button to set your scores. You will see a blue border flash on any scores that have been set.
