Sub-Attributes

Some Attributes combined result in a Sub-Attribute, whose total value is determined by the sum of its corresponding main attributes. For example: A Character with a Strength Modifier of -1 and a Charisma Modifier of +4 will have an Intimidation Modifier of +3. If the Character is skilled in the Sub-Attribute, it would be a +8, and if he were handicapped, it would be a -2.
