Re: Maximum Attributes for Real World People
Quote:
*You can't get to be CinC by being promoted from general or admiral, at least if you're in a free country that doesn't have military juntas. *You get to be CinC by winning an election. Military officers aren't elected. *You don't have to have any military skills to be CinC. Elizabeth II might have Savoir-Faire (Military) but I don't see any evidence she has others; Barack Obama had none; I don't think Donald Trump has any. *Civil supremacy is a basic principle of the U.S. constitution. That requires that orders to the military come from the civil government and that the civil government give permission for military operations, if only by declaring an emergency where the military has unusual powers. There is no official above the president to act as a civilian giving orders to the president as a military man. *You cannot hold the position of CinC without being president, nor can the president NOT hold the position of CinC. But the president's powers include appointment of military officers. The accurate way to describe this is to say that the president is CinC ex officio: It's one of the powers of their office, not an office or rank or position in its own right.

Re: Maximum Attributes for Real World People
I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

Re: Maximum Attributes for Real World People
The old attribute numbers are those printed in the book as prerequisites, the new attribute numbers are what they would be in a system that caps at 16.

I'm still not seeing why you want to change the requirements involving attributes lower than 6. Why not just leave them as they are? Can you present a case where the current treatment produces unsatisfactory results?

As for the attributes under 6 it probably won't hurt to leave them alone, have to actually get into a situation to test them, not many things have attributes under 6 anyway.

The "How to Select Basic Attributes" note box for the Basic Set has been converted into a table on the GURPS wiki 17 or 18 are "historical “bests” and remarkable fictional heroes" so that seems to be the upper limit for "real" people.

Re: Maximum Attributes for Real World People
She served as a mechanic and military truck driver in WWII. I assume she would have been given some sort of basic training even if she only drove trucks around Great Britain.
