Key Ability set as "Base". How do I change it?

[Markimedes]

My Soldier's Key Ability is set as "Base". When I first dragged in the class, it said to choose an ability, but there was nothing to choose, so I exited out.

How do I change it from "base" to "DEX"? My RP appears to be calculating off of STR rather than DEX.

I don't know this ruleset but looking at your graphic at the top of the screen it says your base stat is DEX and that is the stat which is being use as 'base'.

Interesting. It's supposed to be basing my resolve on Dex, giving me 5 Resolve points but is instead giving me 1. I guess I'll just have to manually add the extra resolve.

Screenshot is showing "Prime Stat" as Dex. I don't know what a Prime Stat is, but it's still calculating Key Ability as "Base" which is apparently STR for the soldier.

OK, I loaded up the core rules and dragged in soldier and this is what I get. If you select DEX then that's what you'll get at the top left of the class screen. If you select STR then you'll get STR. If you close that window then you'll get Base. So I assume that you did the latter without selecting an ability. If you didn't see chouces in that box it may be because you are using a theme which is making the text the same colour as the background perhaps (or possibly you have more than one theme selected).

At any rate if you click on the box which says Base it will cycle through all of the options. If that isn't happening for you then maybe again an extension or theme is interfering. Can you test in a new campaign without extensions?

I couldn't get it to work. I ended up starting a new character and it gave me a choice this time when I dragged in the Class.
