Max that stat!!

Unread post by Steve Dubya »

I figure that this is probably the forum where this is likeliest to happen, owing to all the powers and such...

In any event, I'm curious what the upper limit is for a "legal" (more on that in a minute) starting character's attributes. Assuming you had any of the books to play with, how would you accomplish this task (meaning: provide powers/abilities/page numbers/etc.)?

As for the "legality" of said character, I'm looking to find a playable OCC/RCC (meaning that stuff like Alien Intelligences and Gods are out of the question). And now that I think about it, that's about the only restriction I think that I'll actually give. Well, one other - needs to be kept canon (which I'm sure won't be a point of contention at all...).

I realize that there is the "limit" of 50 for most attributes (which I believe I remember seeing in HU2), but I'm curious how many stats could be "legally" jacked up higher.

So what you got...

Should we keep this to strictly HU2 titles?

As of century station gramacy ISland you can take powers
multiple times

Super strength is the easyest power to max

Just take it 2 twice and you got a automatic PS higher then
50.

Sonic speed is automatically much higher then a SPD of 50
Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...
In an RPG with deadly situations that character would have had to be replaced a dozen times over[

There was a max strength thread a while back, some people came up with some whacky combinations (and things that could only be achived under some odd circumstances, like being underwater during a sunny day) but mine was about 220 for the Giant Iron Rhino of Death.

That might not be a bad idea (inasmuch that there are a lot of "high attributed" aliens/D-bees and such), but I'm not overly opposed to using a particular race/RCC for demonstrational purposes.

some are pretty simple to a degree. the logical starting point to each, of course, would be to have the minor extraordinary power associated with it(except for speed, which is achieved somewhat differently.)

iq: natural genius would work best here; i believe a friend got to 37 or so.
me:
ma
ps
pp
pe
pb: mutant with ex. physical beauty, physical perfection, angelic face.
spd: speed is simpler, because certain powers just make it rediculously high. rocket run(major, pu3) puts your base running speed at around 15-1600 miles per hour.

don't feel like doing all of them right this second; i'll come back and fill them in when i feel like it...
