Ability point ranges?

<r> I was looking through the manual, and maybe I overlooked it somehow, but I couldn’t identify the ranges for, say, INT scores for my leaders.<br/>

RE: UI Fix For 4k Displays

For what it's worth, it isn't necessary (at least it wasn't for me) to check the "Run this program as an Administrator" checkbox. It works fine without it.
