[QUOTE="LazarusLong42, post: 748387, member: 9620"] :) You have some cool friends then. That's an excellent point. Although a 15 point pb sounds [b]very[/b] low (the lowest I've ever seen used is 25), it does start to mangle the bell-curve system. Even worse, because the d20 is completely random (rather than a GURPS 3d6 for any given roll) it's rather hard to say that the bell curve is correct. I'm not sure about the nature of heroes vs. non-heroes--it was always my understanding that 10 in a score was average no matter who you were. :) Part of the problem of course is that asking people to tell you which standards they used for determining their scores would make their posts three times as long.
