When filling in the ability scores section of a character sheet (Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis and Cha), a lot of people put each ability score in the big circle, and the corresponding ability score modifier in the small circle below it. It makes some sense because that's the order you're writing it from top to bottom.



However, it seems more practical to put the ability score modifier in the large circle, since that's almost always the number you need to look at, and the ability score in the small circle.



Is there any official ruling on this?

  • The bigger "circle" is actually more of a rectangle (maybe with rounded/tapered corners)...

    I don't see how this is opinion based. He is asking for the ruling on it. If there is no ruling, then the answer is "there is no ruling and it doesn't actually matter". None of these cases is opinion-based. It's similar to how "up to the DM" is not motive for closing.

Modifier in the big circle



This is the way the character sheets for the starter set are filled out. Also makes the more frequently used modifier bigger and easier to read, so I would also recommend it.

  • I agree that this placement makes more sense, but I don't know if that qualifies as an "official" ruling. For example, D&D Beyond gives the option for either direction, defaulting to modifiers on top. It mostly comes down to preference.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
