[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8403575, member: 6701124"] I've been muddling through something for trying with a home made system for a while, and it feels like the split into four physical things can balance them more... but makes me wonder if I then want armor to soak instead of be misses... Strength - damage (& carrying capacity) Dexterity - to hit (& open lock/pick pocket) Agility - ac and initative (& tumbling type things) Constitution - hit point mod (& some saves/avoiding exhaustion) For mental, it feels like a lot of that depends on how you want the magic system to work and if you want an IQ type stat. I find classic intelligence and wisdom a bit annoying for PCs going by what their names mean in plain English, and so might only need three... Psyche - defensive willpower and storing spell formulas Awareness - perception, avoiding surprise, and connection to natural phenomena Charisma - offensive willpower and force of personality for social rolls and then I'm contemplating a spirit world, and the connection to it would be measured by Affinity.
