One does not gain your legendary constitution without surviving a few trials, and it has left you marked. Your skin might be pockmarked, exceptionally pale, scarred or burnt. You might lack all hair or be hairy like a cave man. Your figure might be scrawny or exceptionally full-fleshed. You might be in constant pain from a chronic illness or have a disformity. Whatever it is, it sets you appart from normal people. What in others would look sickly or weak is only a sign of strength in you, but it marks you as inhuman and therefore scary.
Option: Because female characters tend to be more healthy than males, the "normal" maxima for females is one higher and that of males one lower than normal for the race. If this option is used, the corresponding option under Bruiser should also be used.
For a character to have an exceptional attribute, outside the "normal" range you must first purchase a specific Pulp Schtick for each sub-attribute. This not only adds a small extra cost, it also gives more or less defined special traits and extraordinary characteristics tied to such high ability scores. Unlike ordinary Pulp schticks, these offer no or very little benefit and some hindrance; they are more flaws than schticks but you still pay for them. If you want to be able to get exceptional attributes but do not want the effects of the schtick, you can pay double price to ignore the effect.
These schticks are considered genre schticks and are not used in all campaigns. See Schticks and Exceptional.
