	#The possible values for skill increases (in a non-hacked game) depend both on the cap for each skill and on each soldiers' initial value. Thus the max possible value shown in the 'increase' range is for soldiers who started with the minimum initial skill, and got the max possible cap 'overflow'. [[Experience#Primary_Stats\|Primary skills]] can have up to cap+5, and secondary skills can have up to cap+1. Also, [[Psi Skill]] is not truly capped - although soldiers cease to get combat increases once at or above 100, it will continue to increase by 2-3 each month the soldier stays in Psi Training. For more info, see [[Experience#Regarding_Caps\|Regarding Caps]].		#The possible values for skill increases (in a non-hacked game) depend both on the cap for each skill and on each soldiers' initial value.

	#When you enter combat, the [[UNITREF.DAT\|Unitref]] stat values (offset 23-28 etc.) are 'read only' (for that combat only). If you edit Unitref stat values and end the combat, the changed stats are not reflected in the soldier's stats in the geoscape. Instead, the stat values from Soldier.Dat are used. Makes sense, since the current stat level doesn't change <i>during</i> combat, per se - you only get stat changes (increases, if any) when the mission ends. "Kills" is the only value known to carry directly from geoscape to combat and back (due to its "unpredictability").		#When you enter combat, the [[UNITREF.DAT\|Unitref]] stat values (offset 23-28 etc.) are 'read only' (for that combat only).
