I think stats tell something about the PC (and the skills they would want to use). The thing for me is that the 6 stats of D&D no longer do a good job of identifying interesting things about PCs. They are also a bit of an ill fitting straightjacket with some things that dont make sense. For eg, I think the idea that wisdom informs perception is somewhat crazy.I dont think that physical and mental stats are divided in an interesting way. Id be happy with combining STR and CON into a stat called Brawn and combing INT and WIS into a stat called Intellect or mind. I like to see at stat that relates to coolness and determination, maybe called Resolve. I think resolve would be important to martial PCs as well divine types.I also think that perception should be a separate stat that informs skills like awareness and investigation. I would say that perception is as important for rogue types as dexterity, for eg.</blockquote>
