Title: RMC Companion Attribute Modification background
Post by: PiperHolmes on June 16, 2023, 04:46:32 PM

My apologies for the potentially dumb question, but my google fu on the page failed me to see if this topic has been covered before.

What does the +15 or +20 attribute modification background mean?  I'm assuming it's a starting addition to the temporary stat, but wish to confirm.  Thanks in advance.

Which Companion are you referring to?

Generally, numbers like that are used as Bonus Modifiers - they add to the bonus the attribute/skill normally grants - and not the actual number. Example: Brokk, the high man (+10 stat bonus) fighter has a 100 Strength (+25 stat bonus), for a total of +35 Strength stat modifier. If they get a +15 bonus modifier for Strength, it will be added to the +35 for a total Strength modifier of +50.
