Okay, you build Prime Runners with BP based on the level of Prime Runner (Inferior to Superhuman) as per the Prime Runner Creation and Advancement Table on pg 277 of the BBB.
If you are building a sapient critter Prime Runner (say a ghoul, sasquatch or Dragon), do you start with the base stats for the critter and add BP from there?
Or do the statistics given in the Friends and Foes section already assume "average" stats (ie, assuming base 2 in all abilities before critter stat mods), and thus you start with the base stats (given stats -1, if the above is assumed) and add BP from there?
For example, a Vampire is listed as Str 3. Is the bonus to Strength for being a Vampire +2, or just +1 with an assumed base human with Strength 2?
Likewise, what is the presumed max statistic for the critters? If the creature is metahuman-based (such as a vampire), we can assume metahuman minimums and maximums, adjusted by racial bonuses. But what of an Eastern Dragon (Dragons, according to pg 295, are always considered Superhuman Prime Runners or higher)? With a printed Body of 14, what is the minimum and maximum Body stat for the Dragon? At what point does the BP cost of Body points jump from 10 to 25?
Thanks for your help!
