Re: The "Size Discount for ST -- Why?" Discussion

I agree the value of ST is situational/campaign-specific; many of the players in my TL10 150-point-PC games purchased lower-than-average ST to get extra points; I don't think any PC in the TL8 Supers campaign has ST below 10.

This isn't going to be as true for characters with low SM. Those seem to follow something polynomial, as you are essentially getting free Payload and can get away with a lower Wealth level, but Wealth follows a more complicated trend. Honestly, just a simple table works better there - in no small part because once you hit SM -6, price doesn't really change. Here's a table for SM -6 through SM +6. Characters smaller than SM -6 just use the same cost as SM -6. Code:
SM Cost -6 [35] -5 [33] -4 [28] -3 [25] -2 [20] -1 [15] +0 [0] +1 [-17] +2 [-35] +3 [-52] +4 [-70] +5 [-87] +6 [-105] Code:
SM Cost -6 [35] -5 [35] -4 [30] -3 [25] -2 [20] -1 [15] +0 [0] +1 [-15] +2 [-35] +3 [-50] +4 [-70] +5 [-85] +6 [-105] |

Re: The "Size Discount for ST -- Why?" Discussion
I generally think that smaller creatures should pay more for ST, adding a positive modifiers equal to +10% per -1 SM. Of course, that makes lower ST/HP more valuable, but I think that low ST/HP characters are not properly compensated for their problems.
