	Ability scores can increase ~~with no limit~~.		Ability scores can increase Natural to a score of 30. Any higher and only improvements using Items or Difficulty rules. This doesn't count for monsters/creatures or other non-player Characters. Natural Improvements to Ability Scores happen when a Character levels up at '''4th''', '''8th''', '''12th''', '''16th''', '''20th''' following the [[Character_Creation_and_Advancement#Advancement\|Advancement]] rules.
	~~Poisons, diseases,~~ and other ~~effects can cause temporary ability damage~~. Ability ~~points lost to damage return naturally~~, ~~typically at a rate of 1 point per day for each affected ability. More information on Ability healing~~ [[~~Health_and_Injury~~#~~Ability_Healing~~\|~~here~~]].

	As a ~~character ages, some~~ ability ~~scores go up and others go down~~.		Poisons, Diseases, and other effects can cause temporary ability damage. Ability points lost to damage return naturally, typically at a rate of 1 point per day for each affected ability. More information on Ability healing [[Health_and_Injury#Ability_Healing\|here]].

	~~When an~~ ability ~~score changes~~, ~~the modifier associated with that score~~ also ~~changes~~.

But a +2 to either Intelligence or Wisdom. They also gain 2 free Skill Points to spend on any Knowledge Skill and +1 to Profession Skill Rank.

Below are the rules for Ability Scores and how they affect a Player's Character. For most players the Summary section below is all that is necessary to read. However, the [[#Ability Scores In Depth\|Ability Scores In Depth]] section is has a more detailed review of each Ability which could help with roleplaying as well as information that the GM may find useful.

	;A quick summary: Each Character has six '''Ability Scores''' that represent the Character's capabilities and how well that Character can perform different actions. These scores are as follows: '''Strength (STR)''', '''Dexterity (DEX)''', '''Constitution (CON)''', '''Intelligence (INT)''', '''Wisdom (WIS)''', '''Charisma (CHA)'''. These scores have an associated '''Ability Modifier''' which affects nearly every aspect of a Character's Skills, Talents, and actions.

The modifier can be calculated using this formula '''(Ability Score / 2) - 5 (round down)'''.		;A quick summary: Each Character has six '''Ability Scores''' that represent the Character's capabilities and how well that Character can perform different actions.

-Each ability will have a modifier. The modifier can be calculated using this formula:
+Below are the rules for Ability Scores and how they affect a Player's Character. For most players the Summary section below is all that is necessary to read. However, the [[#Use Of Ability Scores]] section is has a more detailed review of each Ability which could help with roleplaying as well as information that the GM may find useful.
-(ability/2) -5 [round result down]
+: It is possible for a monster to have a score of "None."  A score of "None" is not the same as a score of "0".  A score of "None" means that the creature does not possess the ability at all. The modifier for a score of "None" is +0.
-The modifier is the number you add to or subtract from the die roll when your character tries to do something related to that ability. Usually a Ability Save or Skill Check. A positive modifier is called a bonus, and a negative modifier is called a penalty. To the right is a table showing the score and the associated modifier.
