+# D&D Character
+
+Welcome to D&D Character on Exercism's TypeScript Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+For a game of [Dungeons & Dragons][dnd], each player starts by generating a
+character they can play with. This character has, among other things, six
+abilities; strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom and
+charisma. These six abilities have scores that are determined randomly. You
+do this by rolling four 6-sided dice and record the sum of the largest three
+dice. You do this six times, once for each ability.
+
+Your character's initial hitpoints are 10 + your character's constitution
+modifier. You find your character's constitution modifier by subtracting 10
+from your character's constitution, divide by 2 and round down.
+
+Write a random character generator that follows the rules above.
+
+For example, the six throws of four dice may look like:
+
+- 5, 3, 1, 6: You discard the 1 and sum 5 + 3 + 6 = 14, which you assign to strength.
+- 3, 2, 5, 3: You discard the 2 and sum 3 + 5 + 3 = 11, which you assign to dexterity.
+- 1, 1, 1, 1: You discard the 1 and sum 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, which you assign to constitution.
+- 2, 1, 6, 6: You discard the 1 and sum 2 + 6 + 6 = 14, which you assign to intelligence.
+- 3, 5, 3, 4: You discard the 3 and sum 5 + 3 + 4 = 12, which you assign to wisdom.
+- 6, 6, 6, 6: You discard the 6 and sum 6 + 6 + 6 = 18, which you assign to charisma.
+
+Because constitution is 3, the constitution modifier is -4 and the hitpoints are 6.
+
+## Notes
+
+Most programming languages feature (pseudo-)random generators, but few
+programming languages are designed to roll dice. One such language is [Troll].
