Can SotWB cause a character to exceed 10 attack? Page 6 of the rule book says you can never modify a characteristic above 10 or below 0. I know I am probably over looking something simple here, but could use some help finding it.

Nope 10 is the max.

Attacks are a Funny characteristic; they are the only stat that can temporarily go beyond 10.

Please note 2 important bits:

1 it can only be temporarily raised(i.e. through bonus attacks) beyond 10.

2 This is going to be very difficult to do in most games. Ragnar with a lucky roll can get +3 attacks on the charge(bringing his up to 7); then he has to kill allt 7 models in that first combat in order to bring his attacks above 10 in the second. if he does not Kill at least 3 model in his Charge round he will not be able to get the 7 attacks he needs in the next round to go for 11 again.

Why can they go above 10 (willing to be proved wrong)?

Because a model with a Blood Feeder can do it?

And the (quasi)official GW stance is that Bonus attacks can temporarily raise the attack Characteristic above 10.

It states in the BRB that attacks can go above 10, but only through "bonus" attacks.

TY

Page 37, first paragraph after the bullet points.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Lilith can go above 10 attacks and is actually rather likely to do so.

4 base + 1 for 2CCW + 1 charge + bonus attacks for her WS, so 6 + 9-opponents WS. Even against MeQ, she gets 11 attacks on the charge, 12 against GeQ

Weve already said she can....Against FW on the charge she gets a LOT of attacks
