I just finished reading Black Madonna, a book beloved by all for its fantastic munchkin metaplot. I wanted to put Leonardo into a 4th edition perspective. In fourth edition the maximum logic an elf can have at creation is 7 with improved attribute and the maximum ever is 10.
An intelligence of 10 seems appropriate for Einstein but grossly insufficient for Leonardo. What do you all think?

10 reflects the very epitome of whatever it is that the quality is. So a 10 in Logic means one of the smartest people alive.
It's his skills that help define that even further.

That's 10 when augmented with the full rating of Mnemonic Enhancer bioware, only 7 natural. However that limit you are talking about is for a mortal Elf. IEs however are uber (with a distict lack of balls...on the ü folks, on the ü

), so the same numbers are quite likely not applicable. Same with Skills.
As to his stats? *shrug* But if you go back to the previous ones given (as guidelines i think?) you can compare them to typical GD stats given at that time to try extrapolate the SR4 stats from the GD stats in the BBB.

Why does Leonardo need stats anyway? Or is this supposed to be another "who-hates-the-attribute-and-skillcaps"-thread?

EDIT: I'd like my "über" with "ü" please...

The one benefit with the attributes cap in the new rules. All they gotta do is add in one for looks. So someone who's a perfect 10, really is a perfect 10. lol.

I thank you, and everyone else here, now and in advance for not elaborating futher on what Looks cyberware/bioware there might be. Fortunately the Crash 2.0 and the related magical nuclear denotations caused a total and complete "loss" by all human civilization of all plans for and memories of Mr. S#%$#%557p.....<irreversable data corruption>

So basically the name tells you exactly what you're not buying, and why.

"Coll"? Is that short for "colon"? I just can't seem to keep up to kids and their wacky slang.
