  quiet = FALSE,
  ver = "2014"
)

scores_rolled

(logical) whether ability scores have previously been rolled (via `dndR::ability_scores()`). Defaults to FALSE

scores_df

(dataframe) if 'scores_rolled' is TRUE, the name of the dataframe object returned by `dndR::ability_scores()`

Examples

# Can roll up a new character of the desired class from scratch
dndR::class_block(class = "wizard", score_method = "4d6")

# Or you can roll separately and then create a character with that dataframe
my_scores <- ability_scores(method = "4d6")
dndR::class_block(class = "fighter", scores_rolled = TRUE, scores_df = my_scores)
