If you think I‘m being hard on the Xeno, you obviously haven‘t thought too carefully about double hits and free armour combined with Blaze UV.
Characteristic limits:
| Str | Dex | Dia | Conc | Cha | Cool | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Human | 5-10 | 5-10 | 5-10 | 5-10 | 5-11 | 5-10 |

| Xeno | 7-13 | 8-14 | 5-9 | 5-9 | 4-7 | 7-12 |
Note that any extra characteristic minimums must be *bought*, in the same way that minimums less than five will be refunded, _into_the_stats_point_pool_. Furthermore, these maximums & minimums are just that - no stats may fall outside them.
Note that the Chagrin was removed as a PC option for being unnecessary and somewhat broken in implementation.
