Charicteristic Question

[BardicHeart]

I've been going through the MGT stuff recently and I have come across something. When generating animals, its possible for them to have characteristics (Str, Dex, End, etc.) well above 15. But I cannot find a table that extends the DMs above 15 = +3. Am I missing it somewhere? Does it not exist? Is it in another book I don't yet have? Are the DMs simple capped at +3?

The same question came up on the MgT forums recently:

In the end the official semi-official possible answer may be or may not be:

An honest answer is that we have never officially stated this. However, for now, you can presume the progression continues.

So the Dice Modifier for statistics progress by +1 for every three characteristic points:

12-14 +2
15-17 +3
18-20 +4
21-23 +5
24-26 +6
27-29 +7
30-32 +8
and so on...

Though Matthew mentions that it might change with the publication of the Animal Encounters supplement. They are looking hard at it as the massive damage bonus for large animals might be bad.

The link above lists a couple more ideas. In the end though, it's your game, to mess with as you will when the rules don't cover a situation

...and even or especially when the rules don't work for you

Thanks much. This will do for now until something official comes out.
