[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7986544, member: 83242"] Your links take me to nothing (I don't have a DmD Beyond account). However, the closet I see is this (PHB pg 173): [ATTACH type="full" alt="AbilityScores.JPG"]121912[/ATTACH] Notice that it says adventures can go as high as 20 and monsters as high as 30. However, note that this is clearly not a hard and fast rule as their are a number of things that can raise and adventurer's score above 20 (magic items, blessings, charms, boons, and class features). I would take the same approach with monsters. Generally, 30 is the max, but exceptions do exist. EDIT: The DMG (pg 275) also clarifies: [ATTACH type="full" alt="AbilityScores2.JPG"]121913[/ATTACH] So this also places a hard limit at 30, but for me I would still say the specific out weighs the general as Mike as done here. Also, it is possible for a monster or a PC to have a score lower than 1 (see intellect devourer) [/QUOTE]
