Keep in mind what the attribute levels represent. A 6 is the biggest
buffest human known...racial max. Arnie may be a 6, but he may be
closer to 5.
Granted he wasn't always that buff, and and as you said he started out
skinny. However, he was skinny with the potential to reach what he is
today. I wouldn't say he was a sickly or frail skinny...like what a
body of 1 or 2 might represent. I'd say he was this or that side of
average...a 3 or 4 which in our system means he'd achieve a 5 or 6
personal limit (and thus having the potential to achieve human racial
max).
This is what we're trying to regulate in our game. I can't a husk of a
preson with a body of 1 pumping up to arnies status and a body of 6.
Likewise someone with an I.Q. of 90 could hit the books and study
courses, possibly achieving an I.Q. of 115...but I can't seem them
hitting a 130 or higher.
Anyways, this is what we are trying to represent in our game.
