The main character is a highly intelligent person (usually male) prone to witty one-liners, who solves cases that baffle the police. He has both medical and investigative skills, and may work as either a police officer or a doctor (or occasionally both). More groundbreaking characters will have a particular area of expertise, such as bone analysis or psychometry, but they will always be able to apply this skill to the case at hand. In any case, he will have a far larger range of duties than his position should suggest, such as doing investigation, forensic analysis, arrests and interrogation. This character frequently has a team backing him up, but he always outshines them in competence - while they will sometimes take over certain parts of the process, there will be few issues with characters filling in for each other (and none if the protagonist fills in for someone). This character will never get into trouble for actions which are illegal or immoral unless a source of conflict is required, in which case he will usually get into trouble for doing something that was perfectly correct (due to his superiors being corrupt or pressured). Things are always back to normal by the end of the episode, unless one of the actors is no longer available.
A comedy centered around a family, probably dysfunctional, or group of close-knit friends, with the protagonist being the character closest to the target audience in age and gender. Most sources of conflict are created by one or more of the main cast being stupid, foolish or ignorant. Things are always back to normal by the end of the episode, unless one of the actors is no longer available.

If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.
