High stat bonus special ability picks, types A, B and C, in RMCIII.

You should do linguistic forensics. . . .impressive, most impressive.

The REALLY high stat picks are in RMCVI, I think. If you've got stats even higher than required for a C pick.

Well, thank you, but...naw, but I have read companion III at least a hundred times.  It was the last of the companions I found VERY useful, stressing the word very. 

RMCIII covered high stat abilities up to a 120 stat.  118 the highest I have seen in play.

Yes, I thought, just in case. You never know.

As for RMCIII, I liked the ritual rules as a player, not as a GM mind you, but as a player they were great. I also liked the Curtain Wall spell which our party acquired and which proved to be VERY useful.
And the Chaotic Lord, although I have never seen one played really successful. Most of them killed themselves sooner or later by putting on a new "armour".

My first thought reading that was bonus stat for list picks for SLA. . . .I get what you're talking about, but how you extracted it from the question. . . .that was impressive.

Well, uhh...thanks.  I never was good at getting praise.  Odd how somethings might not stay with you from childhood, but rather STAY with you from childhood?

Actually I liked the ones in Companion VI better, since they are based on the total bonus of the stat and not just how high the stat is. :)

I generally prefer things to be "objective" that way. . .so that a pixie with a 103 ST and a -10 ST bonus is not "super strong" but a Cyclops with a 90 ST and a +45 ST bonus is. (Those are not actual calculated values, just making a point.)

Same logic for "Power Points based on Stat Bonus" or "DP based on stat bonus" (Though, in practice I tend to use flat DP per level.)
