Just so we don't get everyone too confused, you DO round up when
determining attribute maximums. I don't think it was explicitly stated
in SR2 (probably because there WEREN'T any actual maximums, just
suggestions), but in SR3 it IS stated. You round up. There's actually a
table for it, and orks have a maximum intelligence of 8.

Of course, this shouldn't concern the more munchkinous amongst us, as
they always would have rounded up in any case. :)

Btw, don't y'all go starting in on people whose characters are gonna be
stuffed by the new cyber/bio rules and callin' 'em all munchies. I've
got a little lady who I'm gonna have trouble with - and she sure as
hell ain't munched. Hell, she's only got 3 points of cyber. But she's
gonna pop under the new rules because she does have a bunch of bioware.
And that really irritates me, because she's such a great concept, but
unless they seriously lower the essence "cost" of bioware in M&M, she
just can't be done anymore. And that sux.

Oh well. Me gettin' OT. Me no rant no more.
