Sure, a LITTLE experience won't - but there is no physical limitation that
keeps weakling humans from building their bodies up significantly within
their lifetimes. IMO, there's no reason why a person with a 2 body can't
eventually have a body of 6 (the same goes for strength). It is difficult,
but that's what the money and karma costs are for. As a house rule, I
double the karma costs for increasing an attribute once it has already been
raised. I triple the base cost once an attribute has been raised twice,
etc....to show how much dedication must be spent doing such a feat.
