[QUOTE="Woocash, post: 2129316, member: 29771"] I suggest following attributes: Build - size, toughness and muscle mass Agility - general physical efficiency (how good you run, jump etc., also how good you aim in melee) Health - ability to resist poisons and diseases, endurance, speed of natural healing Perception - senses, reflexes (initiative), precision (for tasks which need manual dexterity, or ranged weapons) and empathy Intelligence - quite general, both logical and intuitive reasoning, memory too Personality - both charisma and willpower Comeliness - looks, attractiveness, affects social reactions Average of Build and Agility is what we call Strength in D&D (carrying capacity, damage). There are no additional rules regardinh how size category affects carrying capacity, trip, grapple etc. - size can be computed from Build (it means, that increasing Build by spells or magic items increases size). Average of Built and Health affects HP. Intelligence affects skill points, as in D&D. Both "book-using" (wizards) and "natural" (druids, rangers) casters use Int as their casting stat. Both "divine" (clerics, paladins) and "innate" (sorcerers, bards) use Personality. Many skills are based on average of 2 stats (Disable Device - Perception and Intelligence; Sense motive - Perception and Intelligence; Bluff - Intelligence and Personality; Perform - Agility and Comeliness; Swim - Agility and Health etc.) Comeliness would be a dump stat for most characters, if it didn't affect social "first reactions". For an NPC who knows party well it doesn't matter, for those who don't, it matters a lot (we all subconsciously think "ugly = evil" :D). And it is the lowest Comeliness in the group what matters, not that of the person who speaks. [/QUOTE]
