You can, but if, by the time you reach Step 7 (page 79) the total hits 100%+, you can't add any more to that ability. If adding a personal skill bonus puts a skill above 100%, the skill becomes 100% (see page 80, top).

And as mentioned above, sometimes suggested corrections are just wrong, such as the insistence on capitalizing dodge when it's used as a verb instead of a skill name. Correct: "The pirates climb the rigging to get at the heroes." Correct: "The pirates must make successful Climb rolls to get at the heroes." Correct: "The player character must parry or dodge the attack." Correct: "The player character must make a successful Parry or Dodge roll to avoid the attack." We could technically go with: "The pirates Climb the rigging to get at the heroes" or "The player character must Parry or Dodge the attack" but this gets awkward when you apply the same principle to many other skill names that are also verbs.

Unfortunately, edits to the .rtf had to be made by hand vs. a re-export of the material, and minor errors may have crept in, or corrections may have been overlooked. There were several hundred small corrections, and some things got missed. At times, when correcting the .pdf I needed to make small adjustments to text solely to keep the word flow intact, which is a thing that has to be done when adjusting heavily-indexed .pdfs. When in doubt, refer to the new .pdf. I know that's not ideal, but it will have to be the state of things until we can spare the time to reformat a new exported .pdf and prep it for .rtf (The process takes about a week of detailed cleanup.)

What a fantastic idea!

When to roll attributes vs when to roll skills
Jason D replied to Renfield's topic in Basic Roleplaying
Use a Charm roll to get someone to notice your character across a room. Use Persuade to convince them to do what you want them to. -
I cannot say anything at this time. 🤐

Just as a status report: We're just sending the updated files to the printer. We can't predict exactly how long it will take to go through existing stock, or how much existing stock is sitting in stores unsold, so we can't say exactly when the updated edition will be available commercially. We'll be making the revised/corrected .pdf available soon. We're also going to be releasing an errata document in the immediate future as well. (it's prepared, but needs some formatting and cleanup) There are some interesting/exciting announcements to come regarding BRP.

We're sending the updated file to the printers in the next few days, so much sooner. -

I'm going to draw a line here and note that everything prior to this post has been considered for implementation or after much thought, rejected. A new .pdf is being prepared soon. Like any work of this size and scope, it is bound to have some errors still, but it is a much cleaner and error-free document than it was upon release. Thank you all for your contributions! -
