Stats reduced to 0?

What happens if a mummy (or any other ag1 player) gets a -Ag injury and gets reduced to 0 agility?

Nothing they stay at 1. The same happens under the current official rules if you already have 2 agility increases and roll a third - the max you can get is 2 more than you started with - a wasted roll

Is this stated anywhere in the LRB or just one of those that's just how it is things?

Ahem ahem... reading from my Tome of the LRB version 1.2:

"...the new value on the team roster. However, no characteristic may ever be increased by more than two points over its starting value. Any additional increases are lost and the Star Player roll is wasted"

"In addition, record the characteristic change on the team roster. However, no charasteristic may be reduced by more than 2 points, any injuries that could reduce it further are ignored."

There you go...

.. Which would mean ag -1 on a mummy. This doesn't feel right to me though...

Nothing can be reduced to less than one. If I had a copy of the rule books I'd find it. But at the end of the day that's the way it is!

I tried to find an answer in the LRB (1.3), but I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I checked the Oberwald (best next thing) and on page 13 it says that no statistic may be reduced to 0, it just stays at 1. So if you want to use that, it's fine.

On the other hand, if you're a role-player with a AD&D mind, you could argue that if a stat is reduced to 0, the player will die.

I think the best way to deal with it for now is to house rule it, and hope that the BBRC will address this in october.
