I don't quite follow what you're trying to calculate (it's been a long time since my DM days, I'm afraid), but here's a good tutorial on how to set up calculations in a PDF form: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-do-not-so-simple-form-calculations

while that is a correct answer if i wanted to learn how to find the spot to input the math. it is not a correct answer for what i need.
i know i have to use a customized math as this is more complicated than the basic maths.

i need to put a table in and have it recognize that if i type in 1 number that it will auto calculate the modifier

for reference the players hand book 3.5 edition says

ability score=ability modifier

1=-5

2=-4

4=-3

6=-2

8=-1

10=0

12=+1

14=+2

16=+3

18=+4

20=+5

it continues like that with every even numbered ability score increasing the ability modifier by +1

what i needed to know is how to do that math in javascript
