Homebrew races are also permitted but must be approved by the Dungeon Master (DM) before play. - **Ability Scores**: The initial ability scores available are **7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 16**. Players may distribute these scores across their character's abilities as they see fit. - **Bonus Points**: Players receive **+4 bonus points**.
