Are ability point increases for leveling inherent bonuses?

[Stalker0]

I seem to have recalled a thread not too long ago that mentioned that the ability point raises every 4 levels was an inherent bonus, and subject to those rules.

If that's true, can someone give me a quoting on that?

It's not true. They are not inherent bonuses.

No. They aren't inherent increases. Your stat just goes up. I've highlighted the relevant part in orange.

The Forsaker gains a +1 inherent bonus to any desired stat per level. I have a few questions on this, just to make sure I'm handling this properly.

1) Are these bonuses still subject to the inherent bonus limit of +5?

Yes.

2) Do these bonuses stack with those gained by character level advancement? (pretty sure they do, but just checking)

Yes, your level advancement is not a bonus to an ability score, the score just goes up).

3) Can you put all 10 bonuses in one stat? (kind of a repeat of question 1, just to be sure)

No, +5 is the limit.
