Here's what I'm saying.
But hey. Apparently it's okay to do just that. It's a good thing I find hypocrisy like that infinitely amusing.
- Humans get a +1 to Edge as their singular racial ability.
- Edge, like most of the special attributes, doesn't have an augmented maximum.
- Instead of introducing an augmented maximum solely for humans, they just say they can go to 7.
- The +1 to Edge is applied just like any other racial ability is. You don't have to pay for it; it's always a +1 to Edge.
- In the Build Point system, it doesn't matter when you apply the +1 to Edge; the cost is the same no matter who's interpretation you're using.
- In the Karma Generation system, the "benefit" isn't this tragically broken bonus people are maxing it out to be. It's a minor benefit for a race that doesn't really get jack squat. So who cares if they get a minor discount relative to the others? It's still just a +1 to Edge.
But hey. Apparently it's okay to do just that. It's a good thing I find hypocrisy like that infinitely amusing.
Congratulations. You have finally got what the rest of the thread has been trying to tell you.
Nitpick: point 5: Yes, where you apply the edge does matter. If you can apply +1 edge at any point in the buying attributes process, you can avoid the increased cost for maxing an attribute, and that's cheating.
