Justice, prudence...those sound very goodly and virtuous. How do they apply to less-than-goodly members of those classes?Wish I'd seen the earlier post, I could plug my "Medieval virtues" method: you have four Skills: Fortitude, Justice, Prudence, and Temperance. Rogues have proficiency in Fortitude (which is associated with the peasantry), Clerics with Prudence (which is associated with the clergy), Fighters with Justice (associated with the aristocracy), and Wizards with Temperance (associated with the merchant class).
Maybe go with the Pendragon model there, with opposed virtues and vices.Justice, prudence...those sound very goodly and virtuous. How do they apply to less-than-goodly members of those classes?
Otherwise, intriguing idea.
It was kinda both, in that you could also make checks against them under certain circumstances. But of course Pendragon has actual skills as well.To me, those virtues/vices seem less like stats and more like play guidelines--an interesting way to replace alignment, perhaps.
seeing as this is still in a tiebreaker, what's your thoughts on just having the 5e skills as working as another set of attribute base concepts?Just bumping this up to get more visibility. We're still at a tie.
