Query: Aptitude 'Bonus Stats' - Joseph Jostar - 02-02-2017
Has it been intentional that every stat point gained from Aptitude counts as 'bonus stats' for various purposes? I can see it as being kind of a downside to getting so many points, but it's rather strange and INCREDIBLY unintuitive to people who aren't deeply versed in the game's mechanics. You can't buy traits that you technically qualify for if it's by APT stats, your youkai contracts don't increase from APT FAI, it causes Overload to fry basically every character in the game because it counts as 66 or 77 bonus stats at ALL TIMES...
It's just overall strange, frustrating and unituitive. Is it really necessary to be this way? There's basically no way for a new player to understand all this beyond having it explained to them specifically and carefully.

Stats given from aptitude do not count as conventional bonus stats for the sake of caps or overload, but they do not count towards base for traits and youkai contracts (which are still not visible in character screen I might add, making this even harder to tell)
