There is no such thing as a maximum attribute level in Tri-Stat, although attributes themselves often have only so many levels. Perhaps you are thinking of Mutants & Masterminds.

No, Almafeta's right here (sort of). p24 of the SAS Limited Ed:

"Each Attribute is rated with a Level of 1-10, although Attributes can be extended beyond Level 10 with GM permission."

Looking at two example characters in the book that abused the point break: Officer Prometheus's Roman Candle is 16 points; he saved 24 points on other attack powers. Sentinel's Atomic Thunder is 32; he saved 42 points on other attack powers. And that's for 'iconic' characters written from an author's point of view, not a powergamer's
point of view.

It's not abuse. The writers simply recognise that secondary attacks don't add that much raw power to a character, because you have to choose between them.

---
The system doesn't use counting by fours; it uses division. So, if you had 7 actions and you rolled a 19 for initiative, you would go on 19, 16, 13, 10, 8, 5, and 2. If you rolled a 0 for initiative, you would have seven actions on initiative 0; if you rolled a negative initiative, your first actions happen after your last actions.
---

I've never seen an intiative of zero or less in d20, although it could theoretically happen. The solution is to add a number (say ten) to everyone's initiative.

---
I never said all 'attributes' are powers (I'm assuming you're using GoO's distinction between 'powers' and 'characteristics' here). I said they called powers attributes.

You failed to say why this a problem, or even worth mentioning.
