PF2e characters were generated with the 5e method (standard array / 27-pt point-buy /
4d6) and never applied ancestry/background/class attribute boosts, so every derived stat
was wrong. The PF2e ability step is now boost-based:
- Every score starts at 10; ancestry fixed boosts + flaw, ancestry free boost(s),
background (choose-one + free), class key ability, and 4 free boosts are applied with
the +2-below-18 / +1 rule (pf2eApplyBoosts).
- Boost data parsed from the bundled ancestry/background fields (parseAncestryBoosts,
parseBackgroundBoosts, parseFlaw). Defaults are a legal, class-favoring assignment;
same-source duplicate boosts are disabled in the pickers (PF2e doesn't allow them).
- Live ability cards show the computed scores. 5e keeps array/point-buy/manual.
Verified in-app (Dwarf Alchemist Acolyte → STR 14/DEX 12/CON 14/INT 18/WIS 12/CHA 8,
flaw + fixed boosts correct). Pure core has 8 unit tests. 5e path unchanged.
