Level up = +1 to stat

In the final pdf it seems you get +1 to a stat score every time you level up. Is that right?

Also, should we place every question about the new pdf in a single topic?

I can't imagine that being an accidental change. It's +1 to the base stat, not to the modifier, of course.

Note that the starting stat array has changed (16, 15, 13, 12, 9, 8 instead of 17, 15, 13, 11, 9, 8), and the stat score to modifier conversion table is also changed (12 is now a +0 rather than a +1).

Edit: I have run the maths. The biggest boost to statistic modifiers you can get out of the old system is +(+3). The biggest boost you can get in the new system is +(+5). However, you can't quite obtain three modifiers at +3.

How do you get a +5 when your stats max out at 18 (+3)?

How do you get a +5 when your stats max out at 18 (+3)?

He means combined, not to one Stat. You can now strategically place your +1s to get a total of +5 modifiers among your stats. Under the old rules, having to use +2 only, you would "waste" a point going from 17 to 18. Now that point can be distributed somewhere else.
