Ok, it states that upping an attribute requires Karma equal to 3xNew Rating.
Now, question. Does this mean that nonhumans are shafted? ie, does this mean that if a Troll were to increase his Body from 6-7 (ie, the equivalent for a human increasing it from 1-2), that he has to pay 21 karma? Or is it more a case of the cost is related to your racial minimum, rather than zero? |

The basic Karma costs do indeed shaft Trolls who fail their min/maxxing checks at first level.
Both Serbitar's BP = Karma system and my Karma = BP system address that problem in various ways. -Frank |

everyone complains that metahumans are overpowered anyways, this is one way to keep them balanced.

Obviously, no one has seen what a human with 8 edge can do.

Yea, but that human has to deal with that extra cost associated with the increased stat the same way a meta has to deal with an enhanced stat... :P

Ouch! 8 edge. Ye gods above!
"I use edge to blow the troll away with one shot." "But you only have a firearms of 1 and an agility of 3" BLAM *on a side note I was rather surprised that dragons didn't have more edge lol. One would wonder whether great elves would be allowed to have more as well. |
