Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reaper Steve" data-source="post: 5811760" data-attributes="member: 51528">I think that Reflexes and Willpower would be better stats than Dexterity and Wisdom, respectively. Why? Well, the definitions of of the words 'Reflexes' and 'Willpower' better match what those scores are used for in the game than their current names. I also dislike how Wisdom is usually explained as some combination of Willpower and Perception... to me, those aren't related at all. I would add an 'Awareness' stat, which encompasses Perception and more.I also think Charisma should be changed to something else, as the word is defined as a 'Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others' (per google.) But in the game, it is used for all aspects of leadership and force of personality. the term 'leadership' may work, but I think I prefer the Hero System's 'Presence.'Finally, I think 6 is the right number of stats, so I need to drop one. The one I'd drop? As shocking as it may be... Intelligence. I don't want a number swaying how players play their character (or two numbers for that matter[Wisdom].) Everything that the game uses INT for can be better served by another stat. Arcane magic could require Willpower to control, while Divine magic is best channeled by those with the strongest Presence.So, my list would be:StrengthConstitutionReflexesAwarenessWillpowerPresence (I feel their may be a better word, but it's not coming to mind.)This is all an exercise in futility, though, as there is no way WotC will tamper with the 6 sacred stats. But if they did... I'd also prefer Armor Class be replaced by 'Defense.'</blockquote>
