The fighter can choose which ability score to use when using a martial ability
The martial abilities of a fighter represent their ability to adapt to and foil to enemy tactics, ready themselves, take advantage in battle of openings or weak spots and focus on a combat situation.
The fighter can at higher levels improve the abilities by spending more points to augment boost them and unlock more powerful versions. However the fighter must meet the point requirements by having naturally the points required at their base. An an example is a fighter's regular martial points is 30, they use an improved ability that requires 25 points, they can use it even if they have less then 25 points as they normally have 30 points max, but if an ability required 50 points, they could not use it as it would require to fighter to have a base of at least 50 points normally to use them.
