<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Purely for my own purposes, I needed a place to sum up the effects of the three uber-artifacts my character is carrying. There's a lot of attribute and ability bonuses, so I thought I'd tally them up here.<br />
<br />
Str 3 2 4 = 9<br />
<br />
Dex 4 2 = 6<br />
<br />
Sta 3 2 4 = 9 <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cha 2 2 = 4<br />
<br />
Man 2<br />
<br />
App 2<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Per 2<br />
<br />
Int 4 2 = 6<br />
<br />
Wit 2<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Soak 4 6 4 = 14<br />
<br />
Athletics 2 2 = 4<br />
<br />
Presence 2 <br />
<br />
Craft 3<br />
<br />
Lore 3<br />
<br />
Occult 3<br />

Martial Arts 4<br />

Having done that, I then add them to my char's base stats:<br />
<br />
Str 11<br />
<br />
Dex 9<br />
<br />
Sta 11<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cha 7<br />
<br />
Man 6<br />
<br />
App 4<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Per 4<br />
<br />
Int 11<br />
<br />
Wit 5<br />
<br />
Resulting in a "Deadly Beastform Transformation" for my Solar. Nothing like 11 Str to get the day started. And a base Bashing and Lethal soak of 25 isn't anything to scoff at either. (Agg soak of 14)<br />
<br />
As a side note, PC movement is Dex+12 yards combat motion, and (Dex*3)+20 yards full move. For me, that's base of 21 yards in-combat, and 47 yards out of combat. As a turn is 3s, that's roughly 32 MPH. Not bad. Then again, with artifacts, I double my base move, to 65 MPH running, which is quite nice. I also get double actions per turn, pushing it to 130 MPH. And flying, I get three times that, for 390 MPH. So I can't really catch a 747 (which moves at about 550 MPH), but with something - anything - to boost me further, I could probably do it. <br />
<br />
As for lifting, if we assume a simple Athletics 5 (easy when you've got +4), that's a STR+Ath total of 16. Conveniently, 16 is the last place in the lifting chart where a new point doesn't equal 500 lbs. Thus, we start at a base lift of 2,500 pounds, and any point above that (be it from a willpower-based feat of strength, or something like ISE) is another 500 pounds. A Honda Accord weighs about 3000 pounds, so I won't carrying cars anytime soon, but I'm real close to lifting them with effort. A volvo wagon is only 4000 pounds, or Str+Ath 19. So given a modicum of effort, cars aren't that bad of a lift. If the char should, by chance, have a default Ath of 3, that puts the base up to 11+3+4=18, at 3500 pounds, lifting nearly any car at will.</div>GregLink
