That is that each ability breaks down into 2 sub abilities. Can anyone recall what those sub abilities are and whet they govern? Especially the mental ones. Thanks in advance..........

A character with a high Aim score might be an expert marksman or a sleight-of-hand artist. Balance. A character with a hight Balance score may be an acrobat or a tightrope walker. CON: Health. A character with a high Health score would seldom get sick and be little affected by allergies and other ailments. Fitness. A character with a high Fitness score has great endurance and can suffer more damage than other characters while continuing to function. INT: Reason. This ability defines how well a character handles new information. A character with a high Reson score would be good at solving riddles and puzzles, and would be talented at using deductive, logical thinking. Knowledge. This score is a measurement of the character's educational experiences-whether in a school or on the streets, his grasp of languages, and his memory capacity. A character with a high Knowledge score can speak many languages, knows something about several subjects, and can remember the slightest detail of a past event. WIS: Intuition. A character with a high Intuition score likely would be very perceptive and good at making educated guesses, and would be difficult to fool or lie to effectively. Willpower. This score gauges a character's strength of will, ability to resist magical forces, and sense of commitment to a cause. A characer with a high Willpower would be difficult to harm with mind-affecting spells, could be quite stubborn, and would resist interrogation. CHA: Leadership. A character with a high Leadership often may be a group's leader, or at least its spokesman. Appearance. This determines the physical presence and attractiveness of the character. Hope this helps.

What you are asking for modifies the actual ability score tables, and it is a whole chapter devoted to explaining subabilities, so it would be hard for any of us to try and explain all of the mechanics in a reply.
