That change is incorrect. In English, 'character' should be singular there. (This occurs twice in your patch.)
Interesting. Could you pls give me pointers explaining this peculiar English grammar rule?
A "number-noun" adjective does not use the noun's plural form. Other examples are "four-wheel drive," "seven-day trip" and "three-lane highway." I think they're easier to read with hyphens, but it's really a matter of preference.
This is the best reference I could find: http://www.grammar-quizzes.com/adjective.html

OK thx. Guess there's a "-" missing as well.

It's optional, but does make it a bit clearer to non-native English speakers.
