When you get the upgraded weapon, what the game effectively does isn't
upgrade your item, but _replace_ your item with another. And it'll be
filled with new ammo. Hey, it may not mean many bullets, but it's for
free. (Same applies for upgrading flamethrower fuel, btw. Fuel, like
all ammo, is handled in packs, not by piece. By loading/unloading
your flamer, you can create incomplete packs, like, say 5 fuel tanks,
which upon upgrade will be replaced by a full 10 fuel tank pack. OK,
so it's cheating :)

Creating a Character
--------------------

My advice is to experiment and see the effects for yourself. But if
you _really_ want a pre-rolled character, my favourite was something
like picking the "Gifted" trait for more points, and then setting the
stats to something like:

ST: 6
PE: 7
EN: 5
CH: 6
IN: 9
AG: 8
LK: 6

Let me explain.

Strength 6 is enough for any ranged weapon in the game. More strength
does NOT mean more damage with rifles and pistols. Plus, by the end
of the game, the Advanced Power Armour will give you a +4 to strength.
