Re: Revaluation of Attributes and Secondary Characteristics
I think that ST might need a little boost, since everyone complains about the price. How about allowing ST to serve as the universal energy reserve for powers (effectively creating a ninth secondary characteristic). Characters would receive one point of Energy Reserve (Universal, +25%) for every point of ST and, even if they did not have powers, they could one point of ER to gain +1 on any roll (maximum of a one +1 bonus per turn). Would it make ST worth 20 CP/level with Will, HP, Striking ST, and Lifting ST?

Re: Revaluation of Attributes and Secondary Characteristics
For what it's worth I don't see my players avoiding ST, and I don't think it's over-priced in general. In a low-action SF it could be, but I've yet to hear my players call ST over priced at 10/level, and they're playing in an actiony TL10-11 SF game. Now, they tend not to buy massive levels of ST unless it's what their character concept requires it, but they certainly don't think they (or their fellow players) are making a bad investment when they sink points into ST.

It's overpriced in terms of gaining dice on the ST-Damage table when compared to dice of Innate Attack.

Re: Revaluation of Attributes and Secondary Characteristics
Per makes no sense though for Basic Speed. At 5 CP/level for Per and 5 CP for +0.25 Basic Speed, it would always be better for an individual to purchase Per over Basic Speed, up to Per 20. IQ makes better sense because it would represent mental reaction while DX would represent physical reaction (Per is more details rather than speed anyway).

And of course I repriced all the associated advantages like Fit, Arm Strength and the like too. But I cut those in the example since we were talking about attributes and secondaries. Fit is 12 points in my version. Honestly, I think even if using RAW attribute costs Fit is underpriced for nearly every kind of character that is not a completely tight budget or really needs HT to boost HT-based skills and spells.

We could change the equation to (DX x2 + Per)/6 if that's an issue.
