Default Re: Trained Strength for Striking [TG]

A lot of people posted while I was adding a more detailed argument to this post, so I'll paraphrase here:

Even if you set the limit on Trained ST at ST +10, you're talking about a fairly small amount of damage.

I agree training shouldn't allow someone to cut through armor, but neither should realistic amounts of ST or Striking ST. That's why we have Edge Protection.

ST+10 is more than triple damage (ST10 avg is 3.5, ST20 avg is 12.5, and will defeat edge protection (which is double DR).
