Bulging Biceps and Strength 4

[Hanson666]

Can a Ganger with the Bulging Biceps skill and strength 4 hit an opponent at strength 5? I normally use the NCE rules. Thanks for any answers :^)

I've always interpreted it that it can yeah, the chances of getting both bulging biceps and a strength increase are small so it creates something of a mega gang member when it happens. Although I do wish it could happen to one of my Goliaths...

In NCE, Bulging Biceps gives you +1S, while also raising your cap.

So yes, in melee combat, a fighter with a normal Strength advance and Bulging Biceps would hit at S5, not taking weapon into account.

Come back to me when you have to face a S6 T5 Scalie with 2+ armour, Nerves of Steel and the old Juggernaut rules.
