I was looking over the Beastman Warband rules, as I'd like for that to be my next warband.

One thing I thought interesting (and I hadn't really thought about it up until now) is that if Henchmen can only get a maximum of one advance per stat, why would there be a racial maximums for Minotaur? I mean, there's no real minotaur warband, and if they advance like henchmen, why not just note what stat cannot ever be raised?

There are several other (anomalous?) examples.

Just wondering what the point was.

Lad's Got Talent. If they become a hero they need a list of maximum stats. Smile

Minotaur cant get LGT even they get exp, but its still nice to get max stats as they are given by warhammer universe. Its an aditional information if people go for houserules or want to use NPC Minotaur for custom senarios.

Thanks. Sorry for not mentioning that Minotaur can't get LGT.

I'm not sure if it is why they do it, but as Keylan says it is useful for house rules and scenarios. In fact, I once ran a scenario where a couple of warbands had to track down a small pack of minotaurs, one of whom I have leveled as a hero.
