I have made some progress! I found this video which shows off the Numerals plugin. This plugin allows variables to be functions of other variables as shown in the video. Reading through the plugin documentation it also looks like there is a way to make these variables into page properties using some kind of @[variablename] notation but I haven't been able to get this working yet...

Basically solved! Code is as follows. This requires dataview and numerals add-ons for obsidian. I think there is some weird behaviour with the floor function that should be at the start of the g(x) function but i would guess that it is because it isnt a function that numerals supports perhaps? I haven't looked at this yet.

--- numerals: all

strsco: 10

consco: 16

dexsco: 16

intsco: 10

wissco: 12

chasco: 8

```math

# define ability modifier calculation function

g(x) = (x - 10)/2

# ability scores are specified in the properties

# calculate the modifiers using the ability modifier function g(x)

@[strmod::0] = g(strsco)

@[conmod::3] = g(consco)

@[dexmod::3] = g(dexsco)

@[intmod::0] = g(intsco)

@[wismod::1] = g(wissco)

@[chamod::-1] = g(chasco)

# calculate AC

@[ac::16] = 10 + conmod + dexmod

```

AC is `=this.ac`
