Right but isn't that modelled in the system by getting a really lucky roll on a say default skill or low skill?

(and a more skilled lifter will need to get less lucky on their roll to get the same result because their skill is doing more of the work).

And I do think that ultimately even luck will only take the unskilled so far because as you say there is an increasing hard upper boundary in effect. It's just I think that bound is set by factor so base St and skill. Similarly luck will only take a ST8 lifter so far compared to say a ST12 lifter. All else being equal, and even if its not a ST8 lifter would need a lot of skill to match a ST12 unskilled lifter.
