A few notes from behind the scenes...

Regular people should be stated with the "Gritty' method. Some players using these methods may have a score over 18 occasionally (usually size)... Chalk these up to eating a bit much or genetics...

My players always hated the term EDU because half of them have apprenticeships and internships... so I changed it to Training (TRN) so they could easier define their life experiences to the stat...

Strength is the ability score in Stones (14lbs) that a character can power clean & press.

Size is a characters weight in Stones

Might is the ability score in Stones (14lb) times 2 that a character can deadlift

Training is years of formal training up to 16, then +1 for every 4 years following that.

Intelligence is based off of baseline is 60IQ=3 while 160IQ=30... This means every point over 3 is equal to 5 points of IQ (this is based on a 15 point deviation IQ test, I know there are others out there with larger variations but I only have experience with the 15 point deviation in my test group. This came pretty close for most players.
