Attempting a cleanup and update of this page. Out of date stuff is below the divide.
All packages are modifiers and are effectively in comparison to the average human. The average human is understood to be mostly 2s, a few 3s and possibly a couple of 4s with no defined advantages and disadvantages. Modified ability scores affect the upper limits of their abilities in the same way. Unless a character is enchanced in a way not reflected in his package, his ability scores should not exceed 5(6 in exceptional cases) before the modifers for his package.
