At 1st level, your ability scores all start at 10. Your ancestry then gives you ability boosts, each of which increases the score by 2. Most ancestries get three ability boosts, two of which have to go into specific scores. The remaining free ability boost can go into any score except the two set ones. Most ancestries also get a flaw, which decreases a designated score by 2. You can put your free ability boost in the same score as your flaw if you want to get back to 10."[/HQ]</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #FFFFFF">[FONT=&quot]<strong>Save</strong>[/FONT]</span><span style="color: #FFFFFF">[FONT=&quot]<strong>Save</strong>[/FONT]</span></p></blockquote><p></p>
