Feedback welcome.This revision is not designed to make the game more complex, it's instead designed to streamline and clarify some of the categorical buckets we have, and also to mechanically rebalance ability scores relative to one another. Every stat should be attractive to every character, which makes character building more fun and the resulting characters more diverse. The biggest change is the addition of two new attributes - Agility (separated from Dex) and Thaumaturgy (new spellcasting stat for all spellcasters). The list of skills has been slightly revised, but otherwise they work as in the normal rules. Most of the other changes are related to optional mechanics found in the DMG. I'll go into more detail about the new and modified mechanics below. The first three (Str, Dex, Tha) can be considered primary stats since they govern attack and damage rolls for all characters. The next 5 (Agi, Con, Int, Wis, Cha) can be considered beefed-up ancillary stats. Associated skills are listed first, followed by other mechanics, then by types of checks made with the stat.
