Sorry folks, its a chimp,s stats.Chimps are between 6 and 8 times stronger than an adult male human, at least according to my comparitive vertebrate anatomy professor. Does this mean the average chimp can benchpress between 600 and 800 lbs.? No chance in Hell!. Their frames are too small and their bones too brittle to endure the strain. What this means is that chimps are fantastically strong but how they are able to apply their strength is at issue here. My suggestion, 5d8. This gives a fair chance of an ace without going overboard without having to resort to using the mandatory minimums associated with Trait levels over d12.
As for other trait levels, here are some suggestions:
Deftness 2d4 (Although the
chimp possesses a thumb they're not all that good at using it for anything
other than grasping food and tree branches.)
Nimbleness 4d6 (Spry and nimble but certainly not
ready for ballet.)
Quickness 1d10 (Quick! Very quick but not greased
lightining.)
Strength 5d8 (Physically
imposing for sure but no match for a thick necked 'roid noid.)
Vigor
3d6 (Durable and healthy enough to survive the rigors of the wild)
Cognition 4d6 (Sharp and alert
but falls short of Spidey Sense.)
Knowledge 1d4 (No formal schoolin'.)
Smarts 1d6 (Clever
for an animal, some have even been known to use primitive tools on occasion.)
Mien
1d6 (Not much for leadership unless named Proteus.)
Spirit
1d8 (Not exactly reverent of the Allmighty but strong willed. Angry cusses
when cornered but a little flighty when faced with a direct challenge,
in other words skiddish not yeller.)
Size: 4 (3-4 feet tall and weighing around 100 lbs.)
Pace: 15 on all fours (pace 10 when moving through trees or over rough
terrain.)
Natural Attacks:
Bite causes Str damage
Special Abilities:
All chimps possess the keen edge.
Chimps can't swim, they sink like rocks due to their
muscles being so dense and tightly packed.
I hope this helps.
