[QUOTE="Blue Orange, post: 8292118, member: 7025997"] I've seen 'C' and 'Ch' for Constitution and Charisma in older statblocks. The others get the expected 1-letter abbreviations (S,I,D,W). Come to think of it it would have saved us quite a bit of space over the year--you could use 'P' for personality... For a while in 1st ed (OK, Unearthed Arcana) they were trying to use Comeliness for physical attractiveness, the less said about which the better... though they did have an alternate character generation method where you roll somewhere between 3 and 9 d6's and take the top 3, with a different number for each of the seven stats. So it's semi-official that thieves are the best-looking class, with clerics ("holy orders!"), monks ("vows!"), druids ("I'm in the woods, who cares?"), rangers ("ditto"), magic-users ("look, I've got studying to do!") and illusionists ("eh, I can just cast a spell over it") the worst. ;) [/QUOTE]
