I AM the GM, as far as stats and abilities go. STR+1 is an acceptable modifier for level 4equipment. At each level, your character gains three state points, and can split them between STR, FOC and AGI as they want. My character, for instance, has an STR/AGI build, with emphasis in AGI. That means she spends one in STR and two in AGI, except on the rare occasion she throws one into FOC, which she hasn't done yet.
