[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8011254, member: 5142"] I would look into Cortex Prime as it has a number of alternatives for typical ability scores. For example Affiliations (e.g., Solo, Buddy, Team OR Nobility, Clergy, Peasantry); Values (e.g., Duty, Glory, Truth, Love, Power, etc.); Roles (e.g., Commander, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, Soldier, etc.), Relationships, or even via Skill pyramid.

In Ryuutama, for example, there are the ability scores of Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Spirit. Players rank their ability scores by dice.
