Okay, this is probably an erratum rather than a clarification, but here goes.
In Star Hero, the Package Deals for large extraterrestrial species (pages 31-32) all charge the regular 1:1 point cost for all STR, though even the first one would send the average character above Normal Characteristic Maxima. I can come up with three possible explanations for this: 1) There was an error, and the double cost for Characteristic Maxima should have been figured in (+15 STR for 20 points, +30 STR for 50 points, and so forth); 2) Characteristic Maxima aren't supposed to apply to Characteristics bought as part of a Package Deal (though an answer in the FAQ would seem to contradict this); or 3) [which I think is most likely] the straight cost for these Characteristics was shown in the Package Deals because the exact value will vary from one individual to another, and the author and editor just neglected to put in a note to that effect.
