Racial Attribute Conversions
Use this table to directly convert IQ, PP and PE
to GURPS standard attribute forms.
To get the number on the left, figure the highest
maximum attribute for the race. For example,
if the IQ number reads "2d6+8," then the number
is 20. If it reads "2d4+4," then the number is 12.
This is a very basic, jury-rigged conversion,
and does not cover some RCCs like Altaran Warrior
Women. On the chart, she has a -1 IQ, but according
to the Atlantis book, no woman can have an IQ less
than 12. A human can get a higher IQ (thus the
0 modifier) because a human can roll an 18, but
a human can also get as low as a 3, making a very
different kind of probability curve. I am not
about to go through the complicated mathematics to
calculate probabilities, so I'm leaving the chart
as it is. With Palladium's ridiculous nature of
attributes, it really shouldn't matter anyway.
