[QUOTE="Nugan, post: 2558653, member: 36335"] This is true, but I don't believe that skills, feats, etc are the best way to go about providing a basis for what your character can and will do. Character sheets are necessary in DnD for "do I/don't I kill the dragon" reasons. Without them even movement would be forced upon the DM to interpret. In ISRP, much like real life, its not "do I have atleast a +10 hide modifier" that decides what you do, but rather "what am I afraid of?", "What are my weaknesses?", and so on. Sure, you can say "My character has a 19 in Charisma, so everyone should them", and that may very well work in DnD, but in ISRP (unless you want to comit a big nono and put your stats in your description), no one knows that, so its up to your characters actions to show what your stats may be. That's not to say that you can't have a character sheet (although I don't care for them personally), its just to say that they shouldn't be the be all, end all of your character. Ultimately, its how you play your character that matters, whether you have a piece of paper to back it up or not, and when it comes down to that quirks and weaknesses are much much much more important than skills or feats.
