Basically what you're saying is that players are not normal in any
respect.. but that should be nothing new to anybody! :) In the SR2 book
(or is it another book..hmmm) they even mention the "mythical average"
stat being 3..we all know that that's never going to happen :) Hell,
most of the stats in the SR2 book for the archtypes make most of them
put Sylvester Stallone <sp> look puny :)
I disagree with your Karma points there for students but that's really
not important (seriously, the average university student covers so many
topics that 2 or 3 for an average one is kinda insulting..)
I've never known, in any game system, for player characters to be
considered "normal" or even slightly above normal. They break all logic
and while to some that may be wrong, or unrealistic - to others it's
just fun and people don't want to worry about such things.
