You know who is the most personable of a group, that can turn on the charm and make friends. I think we talk about this in general terms not that far away from "so and so has the most charisma" or whatever even in todays' world.If you add in an awareness of the supernatural / magic, I can see how much of that would be even more concrete. The granular level of 16 vs 18 strength is an abstraction, and a bit goofy sometimes. But if you don't think that "Experience" can accumulate quickly with real distinct outcomes, I'd encourage you to consider something as simple as military boot camp and other training regimes. At the start of it, recruits can't really march at all. By the end you're executing precise unified movements. Many recruits are in terrible physical condition, and are in pretty decent shape to hike a combat load by the end. Further training at combat related tasks boost perception (identifying specific shapes, performing rapid identification and counts of vehicles and troop formations), etc.</blockquote>
