`Many of the physical skills will provide the character with attribute bonuses. For example, wrestling offers a +2 to PS and PE, so if the player has already rolled a total of 16 for PS, he adds another 2 points for a total of 18, if his PE was 8, the +2 would raise it to 10. All physical skill bonuses are accumulative. A player can enhance and ajust the physical attributes of his character throught the careful selection of physical skills. `
And yet on page 293 (again HU2), under Supernatural Strength, it says,
`Add 30 + 2d6 points to the regular PS attribute roll. Note that physical skills do not add to supernatural PS, but certain super abilities may. `
Nowhere else in the book does it state this contradiction (not for Extraordinary PS nor for Superhuman PS).
So my question then is - what do the players do when they select their skills?? Do they just not add any bonus at all? Do they just add the bonuses that don`t affect the Supernatural Strength? And why doesn`t this rule apply to the other varying levels of strength?
I think that if there were one rule that holds this game back from allowing characters and GM`s to create any sort of character they truly desire (in the powerhouse category anyway), that this is probably the one that hurts the most..
Should I just house rule it and choose to ignore this rule? What do YOU do??
