Can the Ultramarines +5 be used twice on the same characteristic?  Thanks in advance.

                       I would check with your GM on that one, if you are the GM I would caution against allowing that depending on what specialty the player wanted to bring in.  For example if he wanted to be a devestator allowing twice the BS would be over-kill.

I think it's up to interpretation, to be honest, I can't find anything that specifically prevents it from happening in a clear way (and thus Nimon's point of checking with your GM).  FWIW, my interpretation would be 'no'; this would be because being able to pick which attributes get the bump is a advantage in and of itself, being able to minmax further and give yourself a +10 to start doesn't seem cricket.

I would say, as RAW, no, because it reads you get +5 to two characteristics.

 Thanks, I am the GM and based on this told him to put them in different characteristics.  Thanks again.

The Imperial Fists get a +10 to WP but the RAW do say to 2 profile stats
