I've read that the default is 8, and it gives -1? Is that bad, should I make everything at least 10? 🤔 Sorry if I've just made no sense, I'm still at the D&D confused phase! 😆
-1 in ability means that you'll get 1 subtracted from any dice you roll trying to succeed in the skill checks associated with this ability. With -1 in Strength for example, you'll get -1 on your dice when rolling for athletic checks, like pushing (shoving) someone or trying to lift a heavy object during a cutscene and so on. Since you'll have companions (unless you want to play solo), they can also cover some of the things with their own abilities and skills, so don't worry if you leave something at 8.
