Will somebody *please* explain this to me!?

["Richard" <demon_star2002@yahoo.com>]

I hope I'm not the only one who has never really been able to figure 
this out. And, believe me, I've tried and not by myself, either. Let 
me quote the problem...

from [6.9], special ability 5.
"Take the difference between the average for each characteristic in 
animal and human form, and modify the human characteristics 
appropriately."

Is it just me or does this really not make much sense? Really, all 
I'm looking for is an example of how this works... let's just say I'm 
from Missouri. ;)

Thanks,
R.
