[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9647372, member: 4534"] GURPS only has four attributes. Intelligence, Dexterity, Strength, and Health. The vast majority of skills are based either on Dex or Int, and that's balanced by the points it costs to increase those attributes. I've played games where they divided attributes between Dexterity and Manual Dexterity...but after a while so many different attributes feels kind of pointless. [I]Vampire the Masquerade [/I]had nine attributes: 3 physical, 3 mental, and 3 social. For D&D, I remember when Charisma wasn't used for much beyond figuring out how many followers you could have or determining if you met the minimum requirements to play a Paladin. These days I consider it a top tier attribute because it allows you to be a good spellcaster [I]and [/I]pretty good at social situations. I think Dexterity would be more balanced if it didn't affect damage. [/QUOTE]
