This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So I'm tinkering with doing a game inspired by  MSH (FASERIP) for a gonzo post-apocalyptic setting.
I need a bit of linguistic tomfoolery.

I can get FAMEWIP or FASTWIP (Fisticuffs, Agility, Strength/Might, Willpower, Intellect, and Perception)

However with some tweaking I can get MASTER, but I need something for the Intuition replacement. I was thinking of Senses (MASTERS) but if I could come up with a Y based attribute, Mastery would be an awesome game trait line. Very hard to do and since this is a serious simulacra, I'd like it to be workable and not drawing back to closely to its ancestor/inspiration.

Any ideas?

...tough to think of a Y word.  You might have to find some nifty non-English word to make it work?

EDIT: wait, I guess you're not just looking for a sub for Intuition?
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

I love Gamma World, but I want to do something with magic in it. Science, Sorcery, and Strength of Will.

Yin Yang. Acts like a humanity score. When good (Doing good act, or what have you) yang it goes positive, when you make negative actions it goes yin, negative. Besides being a barometer of the humanity. It could also be used to provide bonuses or negatives to interaction with people. Obviously good people react better to yang, and evil responds better to yin. Maybe even have the stat go negative. Say your at only TY for Yin Yang. Then you do some thing really bad and lose two levels. Takes you to zero. then you do something else evil take you to -FB. Just some thoughts
