I'm referring to the fact that there's no such statement in HW:RiG, specific or otherwise, that's what! Only affinities have this rate of increase. I don't think the idea of any other ability having this "broad" character in any rules sense had any public outing at all before this-time-2001, and has no 'official' (or even 'properly published', I think) standing at any time. Open to correction if I'm brain-farting here, naturally.
Personally I think it was an OKish idea, but perhaps a little overspecified. One can achieve a somewhat similar result by being somewhat 'harder' on HP costs for over-broad abilities ("No, you can't increase your "Strong" and your "Lucky" for 1HP this week, else you'd be doing it every other week, too!"), and similarly a little more generous with very specific ones (directed and/or 'discount' raises). If such concerns are even an issue, that is.
Cheers,
Alex.
