Operative exploit
Invigorating Strike (Ex) Victory reinvigorates you. Once per round when one of your
attacks defeats a significant enemy, you regain Stamina
Points equal to 1d4 + your key ability score modifier. The
number of Stamina Points you regain increases by 1d4 at 5th
level and every 3 levels thereafter.
Is your key ability score modifier your highest key ability stat of your classes or the stat that is associated with the class the ability comes from? The wording makes sense for a soldier or a biohacker who can pick one of two stats, but for an operative ability i don't know why it just doesn't say dex bonus (unless it's future proofing against some kind of operative?)
I've always assumed key ability score was the score chosen/set at level 1, and stayed that if you multiclassed.
For instance, several solarian abilities specify CHA instead of key score, for what I assume to be for that exact reason.
So I assume it's your key level 1 stat if you're multiclassed.
A multiclassed character can have more than one
key ability score. For each class, your key ability score remains the same as normal for that class (and for the class features that rely on that score).
For any key ability score calculation not tied to class, such as determining your maximum Resolve Points, use whichever key ability score has the highest value (and therefore the highest modifier).
It's a key ability score tied to a class, so it's dex. Either belated future proofing or unnecessary reference to a general term.

Nevermind, Xenocrat has the right interpretation. From multiclassing, CRB pg.27
A multiclassed character
can have more than one
key ability score. For each
class, your key ability score
remains the same as normal
for that class (and for the class
features that rely on that score).
For any key ability score calculation
not tied to class, such as determining
your maximum Resolve Points, use
whichever key ability score has the
highest value (and therefore the
highest modifier).
It's the operative class key ability score, so DEX barring some new splatbook.
That wording would also allow it to work if you gained the exploit from a source other that being an operative (such as a feat, artifact, etc.).
garret, thank you, I thought i'd seen something like that but couldn't find it.
