That's just it, though--it's *not* based on muscle strength.
If it was, then a lot of the good stunt riders wouldn't be
little guys. Reflexes would be Reaction, not Body. Okay, maybe
if you were trying to wheelie a full-dress Harley at low speed,
then strength would enter the mix, but...

But hey, it's your game--I ain't got the right to tell you how
to do things in your game. :) Just injecting a bit more info
into the discussion ('cause I don't know a durn thing about the
rest of the stuff the list's talking about right now! :) )
