I don't understand...
For STR, if you pick Tall (2), young(4), Sanguine (1), Fortitude(1), Norse(2) that equals 10.
Or do you mean create a character write down the stats and minus the bonuses? because that still does not add up for me :/
What I mean by that is I created a spreadsheet with those bonus number and subtracted them from the character creation and got this...
