Stat increase over 10

[Babs]

Just to put some kind of finality on this thread:

> Can a gutter runner gain +2 MA (taking him to 11MA) ?
> (given that player cannot have more than 10 AV)
>
Answer: Yes they can. Scary huh!

> Can that gutter runner then choose Very Long Legs to take him to 12 MA?
> (given that players cannot have more than two statistic increses)
>
Answer: No, no stat can ever be increased by more than +2

The original question was mine, in a combined Question & Answer session with Jervis. Whether you consider that 'official' or not, is up to you, given that Jervis' signature file used to say "It ain't official until it's in print".

We've always taken it as +2 Max. VLL can take movement up from this however, so it is possible to end up with a GR with MV 12!
Av max always 10, even with MH or spikes.

There is some arguing going on about the GR with 12 MA... as I see it you can never get a bigger than +2 improvment.... so, if you have a player with MA +2 and take VLLs you only get the +1 on interception rolls... hopefull they will clarify this in this revision...

In the LRB, in Characteristic Increases says: «However, no characteristic may ever be increased by more than 2 points over its starting value. Any additional increases are lost and the Star Player roll is wasted.»
(I think he should be able to pick a normal skill...)

So, I guess that in VLLs description it should say that the +1 MA increase would be a exeption to this rule... if the ideia was to make it possible! I guess not because that would make rolling 10,10 and double much better than rolling 10, double and 10... it just doesn't make sense!...
