Just wondering about how I need to distribute my ability scores so I stay within the rules listed in the character creation guidelines, now that my character, Vorkresh the Goblin, has been accepted.
In the Layonara_Campaign_Handbook, there is the following entry:
As a standard halfling except as follows:
-2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Cha (ESA -2 Cha)
Now, Halflings get a +2 Dex, -2 Str. Is this all added together, or what? Basically, I'm trying to determine what the total bonuses will be overall. I am assuming that when I am creating the character in-game, it will be applying the halfling ability modifiers. Are the ones listed above appied in addition to the halfling ones, or are the halfling ones erased and these applied, etc.
Also, I dont know what the ESA means, either.

Ah... again, answered my own question.
Though in the case of the Goblin it looks like the ESA would be incorrect.
-2 Str, +2 Dex and
-2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Cha
Do not equal -2 Cha.

The ESA is the part that is changed with the goblin subrace in game after creation. the other two are from the halfing traits.
