1. What is the Build Score?

The Build Score is the sum of all six primary attributes in Dragon Age Origins: Strength, Dexterity, Willpower, Magic, Cunning, and Constitution. It provides an overall measure of your character's capabilities.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple sum of attributes:

Where each attribute represents:

• Strength - Physical power and weapon damage
• Dexterity - Accuracy and evasion
• Willpower - Stamina and mental resistance
• Magic - Spell power and mana
• Cunning - Skills and critical chance
• Constitution - Health and physical resistance

3. Importance of Build Score

Details: A higher build score indicates a more powerful character overall. However, the distribution of points is often more important than the total score for specialized builds.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your character's attribute values (typically between 10-100 for most builds) and the calculator will sum them. All values must be positive integers.
