	: The score of these Abilities ranges from 0 to infinity. The Natural limit for a Character is 30 and it cannot go below 0. Normally a Character has a number between 8 and 16 where the average or norm for a species is usually 10. 10 provides +0 modifier neither taking away from a result of adding to it. Anything below a 10 and the Character will take negatives when trying to perform actions associated with that Ability.

	: 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.

	'''Optional Roleplaying rule''': As a character age, some ability scores go up and others go down. A senior citizen has a -2 to Constitution, -1 to either Strength or Dex, and a -1 to Charisma. 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.

	~~== Ability Die ==~~

	Ability Themes have a '''Score''', '''Modifier''' and lastly a '''Die'''. The Ability Die is determined by the Modifier. The Die value is equal to the Modifier value plus one rounded up to the nearest even number. IE: +3 is a d4 (3 + 1 = 4 or 1d4) while a +4 is a d6 (4 + 1 = 5 rounded up to 6 or 1d6). This ignores a Modifier of 0.

	~~:'''+0''' - 0~~
	~~:'''+1''' - 1d2~~
	~~:'''+2''' - 1d4~~
	~~:'''+3''' - 1d4~~
