I fully do agree with Michele and every one who said the same thing. Realistic outstanding people have outstanding skills, not outstanding attributes.

The problem comes from the fact that creating a character like Einstein with low attributes and high skills costs much more points than creating a character with higher attributes. While the rules about starting points say that realistic characters have fewer points than heroic ones.

But that is not really a problem. Beginning characters are not supposed to be as bright as Einstein when they begin they very first adventure.
