Imagine you were constructing a new system of ability scores (ignoring the current d20 system of 6 ability scores of which 3 are physical and 3 are mental [1 of those 3 is really social]) which was expected to have the following parameters: 1) Increased level of realism (as compared to the current 6 ability score system) 2) Better balance between the individual ability scores What ability scores would you include in such a system and what would each of them effect? Would you have some ability scores correlate and if so how would you 'force' them to correlate with each other? As a side question, if you wanted to split the one social ability score 'Charisma' into more parts, what parts would you split it into?</blockquote>
