This is probably going to make me look really dumb, but how do ability bonuses advance after the ability goes 20 and over? I looked through my books and can't seem to find anywhere that says how (Although it was 5am while I was looking, maybe I was too tired to see what was right in front of my face...). I got inspired to make a big monster by all the damn crab and doom kitten stuff, and I've done most of it, but calculating the ability bonuses for stats that climb anything as high as 40 are beyond me.

It's exactly the same as the first 20. +1 for every 2 points increased. 22 is +6, 24 +7, etc.

The formula for ability modifiers is (Ability Score - 10)/2. A score of 18 in this method will generate a 4, while a score of 32 will generate an 11. 60 will generate a 25.

Alternatively, try the Pifro Monster Calculator (http://pifro.com/mon/).
