Racial Ability Adjustments Once the character’s ability scores have been determined, the race chosen, and the Racial Requirements table consulted, modify the

ability scores based on the
Racial Adjustments table—and determine the subability scores as per the rules in chapter two.

Racial Level Limits The Racial Level Limits chart lists the maximum experience levels attainable by the various races. For more on classes, see chapter four.

Exceeding These Limits

The
Dungeon Master Guide included an optional rule where demihuman characters could exceed level limits if they possessed high prime-requisite ability scores. This rule is official in the Player’s Option system. See the chart below for bonus levels granted to those characters with high scores in their class prime requisites.
