I've recently read through the rules for edge of the empire and age of rebellion.

Am I overlooking something or is it like this?:

* At character creation you can increase 1 to 2 characteristics once (or one characteristic by 2) all else is way too expensive as you only have 100-110 XP to start with
* Later on you can increase characteristics about 3 times (if you max
out all 3 specialisations......possibly four times with universal or
additional specs).

Thus you have your starting characteristics according to species and in addition to this 4-5 characteristics points to distribute over the course of a whole campaign?

Or did I overlook something here at character creation or during the course of the campaign?
