A character's total ability modifier cannot be more than 9 plus his template's ability modifier. For example, if a character's template has a ''swimming'' ability modifier of 2, the greatest total swimming modifier that character could ever have would be 11 (9 + 2 = 11). If the template has no ''natural weapons'' ability, the maximum natural weapons ability of a character using that template is 9 (9 + 0 = 9). |

− | When a character's combat abilities increase, his attack modifiers and defense may also increase. If a character's ''marksmanship'' ability increases by 1, then his attack modifier for each of his guns will increase by 1. If a character's ''natural weapons'' ability increases by 1, then his attack modifier and defense with each of his natural weapons will increase by 1. Update the character's ''melee defense'' when the defense of his striking weapons improves. | + | ;Developing Movement Abilities: When a character's running, swimming, flight or climbing ability increases, his stride, water, air or climbing movement may also change. For example, a character with a total running ability modifier of 2 usually has a stride of 6. (4 + 2 - 0 = 6.) If his total running ability modifier increases to 3, then his stride will be 7. (4 + 3 - 0 = 7.) (See [[Mano a Mano:Character Creation#Encumbrance and Movement|Character Creation/Encumbrance and Movement]].) |
