Re: Reasonable ST Limits for SM -1 and -2 Characters
Unless something is exactly human except smaller, you can justify a wide variation.
How I would tend to approach a gritty campaign with a small human that has base ST 6, is to note that humans average BL 20lbs in GURPS and go up to BL 80lbs, so 4x stronger. So ST 6 (BL 7.2lbs) implies a maximum of ST 10 (BL 20lbs). I'm not worried about minimums but ST 3 is BL 1.8lbs. So I'd ballpark ST 3 to ST 10.
Realistic ST is kind of sucky though which is why the DF series ignores it.
