i was looking at the Space Marine Character sheet and saw that one of their augments under the power armour picture says that they get +20 strength. is that added to the starting strength or is that already in the starting strength.

thx

After, but it is added to the strength bonus after the modifie for unnatural

eg. Strength of 40 gives a modified strength of 60 (40+20) but a strength bonus of 10 (4*2 + 2)

Thank you very much, now to tell the players that they are stronger than they used to think.

no that is added in after everything, including unnatural strenght meaning this doesnt get amplified by un natural strenght.

The same goes for enhancements from things like bionics. They always go after unnatural characteristics have been calculated.
