Hmmm... actually, checking the BBB, I realize I was mistaken... the upper
limit to assign to a startin attribute (after racial mods) is the racial
maximum... so this means that you can have human otakus with 7 mental
attribs
another problem though:
when you halve (round up) physical stats and put a one as a starting
value to beef mental attribs by 2 (so new max is 8 fer that human otaku)
how does this affect metahumans?
Is it 6/2 + racial mods or (6+racial mods)/2 and in the second example do
the racial mods still aply as norm or are they halved as well?
example troll otaku (uhm, it could it happen?)
[we'll name him Bison ;)]
would his physical racial maximums be
a) 8 body, 2 Quickness, 7 Strength; or
b) 6 Body, 3 Quickness, 5 Strength?
and if you picked b) would starting physical attributes be
a) 6 Body, 1 Quickness, 5 Strength; or
b) 4 Body, 1 Quickness, 3 Strength?
Btw I am opperating under the assumption that you *must* allocate at
least 1 point to each attribute...am I correct?
Also, the distinction is *much* clearer with the exagerated stats of the
troll. If the example used say an elf or an Ork-who-decks-without-a-deck,
it's not as obvious... :)
For the record, I answered b) to both questions :)
