Does not matter anymore. I decided to put my idea here, too. Comment if you like. If my idea is total crap, forget I even proposed one, but here it goes: - Strength (STR) - physical strength and endurance basically. - Agility (AGI) - ability to move, agility and flexibility. - Dexterity (DEX) - dexterity, sleight of hands, accuracy/precision and "eye-hand-coordination". - Quickness (QCK) - quickness, reflxes and initiative. - Constitution (CON) - stamina, toughness and constitution. - Intelligence (INT) - intelligence, perception, reason and insight (maybe learning ability as well?). - Wisdom (WIS) - wisdom, knowledge, memory, and processing ability of knowledge (like philosophy for instance). - Willpower (WIL) - power of will, mental strength and psychic endurance. - Charisma (CHA) - charisma, social intelligence, ability as a public performer and so on. All these "primary" abilities affect abilities which could be called as "secondary abilities". There is not necessarily need for these so-called "secondary abilities", but I will list some ideas here: - Dmg. modifier derives from strength and gives +dmg in combat. - Toughness (derives from WIL & CON) absorbs dmg (people who have played Warhammer Fantasy Role-play should know what I mean). - Appearance (independet stat) is of course important, not by the system perhaps, but roleplaying-wise. - Magical aptitude would derive from INT, WIS and WIL so all of those stats would affect one's natural ability to handle magic etc. - Mana could be the sum of INT, WIS and WIL so that all the "mental abilities" would affect it. Well, just some ideas. Secondary abilities are not necessary at all, but would add a bit more "depth" to stat system. Just my ideas, so throw me some feedback about them. -- | ~ Sinister / Serpent of Nightside ~ | | <sinister.serpent@sci.fi> http://i.am/sinister.serpent/ | --o-- Nightside homepage: http://www.netti.fi/~halsa/ --o-- | Nightside e-mail: <nightside@hotmail.com> |
