I was thinking it was round up. But yeah it's round down.

so 10 for the skill is really the best you can do.
Attribute max is going to be 19 for str though

15 or 16 for Agility.

If you use the proper races with the proper augmentations.

3122b: However, Gnomes are still only for punting.

3123: I am no longer allowed to sing, or hum, "the Internet is for porn" anytime the hacker/decker rolls datasearch.

Well, that's obviously true. Gnomes aren't people.
MortVent
3124: I am not allowed to play surge characters... based on cute animals.
3124a: nor am I allowed to do any surge in general after the hyper active low attention span combat freak
CanRay
3125: Perpetuating negative Metahuman stereotypes around Humanis is bad.
3125a: Perpetuating negative racial stereotypes around anyone is even worse.
3125b: Just because he's East Indian does not mean he drives a cab. Although it makes for a damned good cover.
3125c: I am no longer allowed to make Amer-Indian names. Ever. Again. I now live on a Reserve and have to respect their culture even more.
Squiddy Attack
3126: "I found pills and ate them" is never an acceptable answer.
3127: If we steal a drug stash, I can't say "Grabbin' peelz".
3127a: Even if my name is Louis.
3127a: -Especially- if my name is Louis.

3128: If a recently emergent A.I. offers to play a game of 'Global Thermonuclear War' with my hacker, I am to politely decline.
3128a: If any A.I. offers to play a game of 'Global Thermonuclear War' with my hacker, I am to politely decline, just in case.
3129: I am not to introduce recently emergent A.I. to the concept of "Perfect Play"
3130: I am not allowed to tutor recently emergent A.I. in the classics or philosophy (this one's tentative - I'm trying it now and it might just work out).

Reminds me that a computer will be playing on Jeopardy in February. It can understand English to know what the questions mean and to properly form an answer in the form of a question.

3131: I am not to introduce nascent AIs to the concepts of pornography, sexual intercourse, or any other form of human perversion. This -never- can end well.
3132: There are no player accessible magical traditions that corrupt their users. I shall stop asking for one.
3133: Chaos is -not- power. Ok, maybe it is, but it is not the Chaos I think it is.
3134: Cougars do not go in cars. My hacker shall stop arranging for this to happen
3135: I do not hate stairs
3135a: I do not hate zombies
3135b: I do not hate tanks
3135c: The only thing in the world I do not hate is not vests

I will not accept the existence of shows that took the place of 'My Little Terminator.'
I will stop referring to 'Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles' as 'My Little Terminator'

Unless they're exceedingly good at it, which is admittedly rare.

3137b: "Lesbian Elf Stripper Ninja" as well.

3138: When asked what my subtle weapon will be my LMGs under barrel grenade launcher is never the appropriate answer. If it is loaded with knockout gas then maybe.
Queek
3138a: After further experimentation, knock-out gas is not as subtle as once thought. The only appropriate answer when asked what my subtle weapon is, it shall be the -butt- of my LMG
3139: A plan should never hinge on "Letting loose twelve rabbits and let them do what they do best"
3139a: The same goes for rats, mice, squirrels, lemmings, and raccoons
3140: Raccoons are not a viable option for air dropped ordnance, even if I put parachutes on them
3140a: The same for rabbits, squirrels, lemmings, rats, and mice
3141: Though the whole "Bad List/Dinner List" thing works for Lowfyr, it does not work for street samurai
3142: My mages' name can no longer contain three famous stage magicians and a city. This style only works if you are Jim Butcher.
3143: When my runner is in London, it is considered a bad idea to ask about London Below, as it makes my runner seem less than totally sane
3144: Anything that is either on fire or shoots jets of fire is not subtle, despite my pyro's claims to the contrary
3145: No more graphically describing the effects of any BTL that involves sex or anything even remotely related to sex.
3145a: No more graphically describing the effects of any BTL chip in a way that makes even getting beat up by an angry orc sound like sex
CanRay
3145b: "Bubba The Love Troll" Black BTL shall never, ever be described, and only reserved for those who really, really deserve it.

3145c: Unless it's their thing, but they'll have to look it up on their own. The GM should not have to lose his/her sanity due to a bizarre player. At least...not to describing Bubba the Love Troll
Aku
Shouldnt "Bubba the Love Troll" be self explanatory? I mean, i know I get imagery i dont want in my head at the utterance.
Neraph
3145d: "Dermal Deposit Dan" is also not be described.
3145e: Neither should "Scrotax, the Impregnator."
TeknoDragon
3146: I may not play a mage who summons air spirits to take bullets out of guns and put them in his hands.
WhiskeyJohnny
3147: I can not have "Actor", "Musician", or "Ballerina/Danseur" as my Day Job
3147a: "Professional Waiter" is, however, acceptable
3148: My Troll Ganger cannot take "Pimp" as his Day Job
3149: I may not sing "Money" from the Musical Cabaret, "Money" by Pink Floyd, or any other song called "Money" (too many to list here) while the Johnson is in earshot.
3150: I may not play an AI rigger who's primary drone is a trash can robot and speaks only binary
3150a: Nor may I play an AI rigger who's primary drone is Anthromorphic and Gold in color and speaks in a stuffy British Accent
3150b: Nor may my AI rigger refuse to open the "Pod Bay Doors" of his van for the party. This goes double for parties featuring a character named John.

3151. 'Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough!' is never Plan B.

3152a: And if Hydrofluoric Acid is ever necessary for a plan to work, it is time to reconsider the plan.

3162. I am not allowed to spread rumors that the rigger only jumps into vehicles because they weigh less than he does.

CanRay

CanRay
3169b: Do not attempt to "Overrun the Black Market Office Supply" through equipment stolen from 'Runs.
bobbaganoosh
3172. I am not allowed to load my fully automatic assault cannon with a drum of anti-tank rounds.

Edited for format.
CanRay
3172a: Especially if used against the neighboring apartment for having their music blaring at 0200.
Neraph
3172b: Unless the music just really is that bad.
