Default My Character Assistant Questions

Just bought and updated the GCA4 software programme.

I have a charater with Dexterity 14, but when I choose Stealth at Dx/Avg, it entered it as 13.

Similar with Shadowing. The character has IQ 12 but it's entered at level 11.

Why's that, anyone know?

Thanks

those are both average skills, so 1 point will give you the skills at att-1.

Shapeshifting is in the book but not in the GCA4

Alternate Form is in the GCA4 but not in the book

Is this correct?

Alternate Form and Morph are the two variants of Shapeshifting presented in Basic (p83-85). I'm not surprised that GCA lists the under their specific names rather than "Shapeshifting: Alternate Form" or something like that. I haven't used GCA much, but it should give page listings for all the advantages.

For specific questions about GCA4, while I'm sure plenty in this subforum are willing to help you, with some of the more obscure answers you might have luck in the GCA4 subforum under The Network.

Unfortunately, the GCA lists abilities by their sub-ability, sometimes: it took me forever to figure out how to do Innate Attacks, because it wasn't immediately obvious that I had to pick Burning Attack, Toxic Attack, etc. So when in doubt, look for the sub-ability. Or use the find trait tool.
