Exceptional Combat Technique

The hero is particularly competent and performs far better than average with a certain combat technique.
Rules: The advantage Exceptional Combat Technique raises the maximum stat in the combat technique by 1. This means both the maximum for character creation and the final maximum stat (depending on the highest attribute involved, see page 39). The hero doesn’t receive a point in the technique, but can start the game with a stat of 13 (instead of 12) when using an experience level of Experienced. The hero’s final maximum also rises by 1 point. You can purchase this advantage twice, but only once for a particular combat technique.
