Many races get an attribute bonus (e.g. +2 Dexterity). In ST this gives two bonuses, first the character gets a one dot bonus to the one or two attibutes that match the conversion attributes. Second it raises the maximum value the the attribute can have. At character creation time, buying a fifth and sixth dot in any attribute costs two points.

Many races get an attribute bonus (e.g. +2 Dexterity). In ST this gives two bonuses, first the character gets a one dot bonus to the one or two attibutes that match the conversion attributes. Second it raises the maximum value the the attribute can have. To balance this, many races also have a attibute penalty. In ST, this causes the corresponding attributes to have their maximum reduced by 1 point.

For example, Dwarves get a +2 Constitution bonus and a -2 Charisma penalty. For Consitiution, this gives a 1 dot bonus to either Stamina or Resolve, and allows a maximum of six dots in both. It also mean the maximum for Presence or Manipulation is now 4 dots.
