Re: Min/Max of Attributes
I just came across this from GURPS Power Ups 3: Talents, p.21: "If the GM caps IQ, DX, HT, Will, and Per though, then Talent should face comparable bounds. The standard human limit for such scores is 20; that is, +10 relative to the average of 10."
I think we can all agree that "standard human limit as presented in cinematic fiction..." is implied? Or maybe the score of 20 is meant to include Attribute plus Talent?

Re: Min/Max of Attributes
No it doesn't. The maximum is 25 per intimidator. That's a -5 on your intimidation skill, and your threat must be somewhat credible or you'll be further penalized. Can one man intimidate a whole room full of people? Sure. Why not?

As for guidelines about non-human race Stat variance, shouldn't that be "what fits the race" and just be a Taboo Trait (...yeah, still using mostly 3e so if that is obsolete, let me know). Some races might be able to vary significantly more or less, and without an obvious, predictable pattern. Maybe that ST 1 race is a small one but without a maximum size limitation... so while gargantuan, a ST 20 being (+19 to Base Strength) is plausible. Another race might be largely human... but it comes from them all being genetically and environmentally closer to their ideal than another race. |

Re: Min/Max of Attributes
Alonsua is new (<1 year) to the forums, and jumping right in is to be encouraged. But Maz has a point Alonsua, don't be surpirsed if this old thread stays dead.

Re: Min/Max of Attributes
I think there is an actual forum rule against thread necromancy. But sometimes you link around as you read and don't notice how old posts are
