Newbie question

Thanks for all the quick replies! You guys are a nice bunch. It's SO rare not to get flamed when asking for help.

I'm sorry, maybe I shoudn't have used vampires as examples twice. LOL. I completely understand what you mean by the variance in vampires. I guess I really just meant "bad ***". :) I'll put my follow up questions in bullets for ease.

- So, if I'm reading all of you correctly, a 20 IS a possible ST score for a "real" human?

- Considering 24 is double the ST of 17, where would you guys benchmark some example supernatural characters/monsters? For example, could Hulk and Superman even be rated? I saw one thread where Superman's ST was like 10000. LOL. I guess I just am having a hard time setting some standards (above the 20) for superhuman players/monsters. I mean like, what would a reasonable DX for someone like a Weretiger be? (Assuming Weretigers ARE indeed very nimble in your world) Or maybe the strength of Bane (on Venom), ect. How about a giant? Just some standards or range examples would be VERY helpful. If I had some examples (approved by some seasoned GURPS players), I could figure out the rest. :) I just don't want to set my examples to high or low, ya know?

- And just to be clear.....if I'm understanding you all correctly........in my Dracula example (assuming Dracula is super tough), YES he would get hit if the attacker rolled a 3, but his DR could possibly make their attack irrelevant?

THANKS AGAIN for all your help. You guys are making my day!
