Strength

My house rules on ST and Damage make damage increase less quickly with ST in the usual range for human characters (7 to 15). This makes ST less valuable. Already, the cost of striking ST is well out of proportion with the cost of Innate Attack, and my rules skew this even further. As a result, ST is now priced at 6 points per level. This is not considered a power modifier, all modifiers are applied directly to the new cost. The usual modifiers for Size (SM) and No Fine Manipulators (NFM) still apply.

Advantages which modify ST or which are based on ST are priced as follows:

• Striking ST: 1 point per level (SM and NFM apply)
• Lifting ST: 3 points per level (SM and NFM apply)
• Hit Points: 2 points per level (SM applies)
• Arm ST (SM and NFM applies)
  • 2 points per level for one arm
  • 3 points per level for two arms
  • 5 points per level for three arms
• Arm Lifting ST (SM and NFM applies)
  • 1 point per level for one arm
  • 1.5 points per level for two arms
  • 2.5 points per level for three arms

To buy up ST for everything except arms, buy extra ST with the No Fine Manipulators limitation.
