Does this new rule of FASA's annoy anyone else as well? I mean whats teh
point of saying teh racial maximum is 6 if you then say you can increase
it to 150% of that? A Wolf Shaman initiate I used to GM for (and still do
on occassion) now has a Willpower of 8 (maybe 9 I can't remember) and
also Quickness of 9 (he's an elf).
The guy who plays the female street sam also wanted to get her body up to
8 or 9, but not accept taht it would make her look REAL butch and a not
to everyones tastes even though she has Charisma:6 and tailored
pheremones. I already had played up teh point that with even body:5 and
strength:6 she was looking like a female bodybuilder.
I don't, however, have any problem of certain characters being able to
have certain attributes above teh max e.g Corp scientist Int:8, but
allowing every character, be able to push up every stat is just a little
much. Maybe if a character sacrificed something at character generation,
the limit could be raised to 1.5 times max on ONE attribute.
The Otaku thing seems balanced though.
