SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Pox, are you familiar with Runequest / BRP and how their SIZE stat works? If not, check out OpenQuest or other BRP game because its an interesting stat. It's nicely balanced too in that its not a dump stat, nor an uber stat, and creates its own benefits and hindrances at the high/low ends.

Also - are you familiar with:

Pendragon (derived from BRP) -Does generational play, wives are important for offspring (and possible estate management?)

Ars Magica - One vision of how Abrahamic faiths can be played out in a world with magic and divine powers. Also has very differently balanced adventuring parties with Wizards, Companions and Grogs.

Quote from: ThePoxBox;1096079Thanks for the insight on how you handle things. That sounds a bit too complex for what I'm going for, but sounds more accurate than what I'm using. Accuracy vs Complexity is a pretty common trade-off.

I think stats that impact one another makes a lot more sense than stats that have nothing to do with each other. From the glimpse I got in your first post, I don't think your method is less complex.
