The published stats for Great Dragons allow for skills above the limits placed on mere humans. Not to mention that Spirits get access to skills at their Force rating, allowing for a whole slew of skills beyond the "Ultimate Ever" ™ skill level.
What's the beef with this? Are metahumans really so limited? Anyone come up with any good systems for getting rid of the hard caps? I tried converting our SR3 characters to SR4 directly, ignoring the hard caps (numerous character have skills in the teens, twenties and a couple beyond that) and ended up with something that mostly worked but had some inconsistencies. The main problem with just ditching the hard caps is that magic just keeps boosting your attributes to silly levels! Anyway, if anyone has a good method they have come up with for houseruling this stuff I'd be very interested to hear about it. I'd respectfully ask that no-one leap in defending the hard-caps and the beauty of starting the game with a character who can't improve on his key skill. Please stay on topic. |
