Correction:
Native Ability of 2D6 +3 x a multiplier of [1+(1D4*x0.5)]
Should read:
Native Ability of 2D6 +3 with a multiplier of [1+(1D4*x0.5)]
Depending on how I as referee thought of the NPC I would increase none,
some or even all of the stats up from Native Abilities subject to the
calculated Maximum Abilities.
