About
A collection of 10,000 simulated starting character statistics for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). The methodology used for generating this data simulates the creation process of D&D 5th Edition characters, starting with ability scores rolled using the standard Roll 4d6 Drop Lowest method. Racial ability modifiers are applied to these scores, and height and weight are calculated based on established rules. This dataset is suitable for training machine learning models, such as predicting a character's race, or for general data analysis practice.
Columns
- race: The playable character race (e.g., dragonborn, dwarf, elf, human, halfling, tiefling).
- height: The character's height, measured in inches.
- weight: The character's weight, measured in pounds (lbs).
- speed: The character's base movement speed in feet (ft.).
- strength: The starting Strength ability score (mean: 12.9, min: 3, max: 20).
- dexterity: The starting Dexterity ability score (mean: 12.8, min: 3, max: 20).
- constitution: The starting Constitution ability score (mean: 12.8, min: 3, max: 20).
- wisdom: The starting Wisdom ability score (mean: 12.4, min: 3, max: 19).
- intelligence: The starting Intelligence ability score (mean: 12.8, min: 3, max: 20).
- charisma: The starting Charisma ability score (mean: 12.9, min: 3, max: 20).
Distribution
The dataset is structured as tabular data in a CSV file format named
stats.csv, which has a size of approximately 376.03 kB. It contains 10,000 distinct records, corresponding to 10,000 simulated characters. The dataset features 10 distinct columns, all fully populated with no missing values.Usage
This data is ideal for building predictive models, such as classification algorithms aimed at determining a character's likely race based on their ability scores. It can also be employed for exploring the statistical distributions resulting from common D&D character generation rules, offering insights for statisticians and data analysts interested in simulated game mechanics.
Coverage
The data reflects a simulation based on the playable races defined in the D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook. The collection includes various races such as human, dwarf, elf, dragonborn, half-elf, gnome, half-orc, halfling, and tiefling. The simulation covers starting stats and related characteristics (height, weight, speed). The collection is static, with an expected update frequency of "Never."
