Hey, you don't have to apologize for stuff like that! It's actually super helpful to have typos and whatnot pointed out.
A character's personal attributes are capped at +1 because my experience with Powered by the Apocalypse games has been that things get a little too weighted on the full/critical success side when a character has +3 in their main stat, so I wanted there to be a bit more of an arc to a player reaching that kind of height. Element Resist is similarly a bit harder to get than most PbtA games because a flat reduction of 3 or more to all damage has a very real risk of making combat trivial. And this is a combat heavy game! 😀
