Final Score Bonus (henceforth, "FSB")
As of version 01.03.00, all bears have this (although this may not be the case in the future). FSB is essentially a boost to every point you score in the game. E.g., if your bear has a FSB of 38% and your play without considering the FSB earns 1000 points, then your same play considering the FSB earns you 1380 points.
FSBs are additive. So if you bring three bears that have FSBs of 10%, 30% and 50%, you essentially have a 90% bonus to your score (10+30+50=90).
Note that the effect of the FSB is applied throughout the game, rather than after the score has been tallied. The easiest way to see this is to take only Fore Bear into an event and click a single letter. The normal value of any letter is 5x the counter on the tile; however, you will see that the score in the Submit Bar is higher than this because of the FSB.
You can learn more about FSB on this page.

- <No power besides FSB> (Zebra Bear) - This bear contributes only via FSB.
- House Bear
- Koala Bear
- Zebra Bear
- 2x pts for R (Robot Bear) - Your word's score is doubled for each R in the word. (Well, technically it's a little weird. If the word you played has zero R's, then you get 1x the points you'd normally get—you didn't take advantage of the power at all on this turn, so you don't get any extra points. If the word you played has one or more R's, the multiplier is not 1x; instead we start at 0x and add 2x for each R, and the end result is your multiplier. So if your word has one R, the multiplier is 2x; if your word has five R's your multiplier is 10x, etc. If you have several such bears active at the same time, we do the same thing—add the appropriate number to the multiplier for each relevant letter that you played.)
