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.

Exactly two sub-attributes

Quote from: charis;377808Okay, so four stats, broken into eight. Has anyone considered the opposite? Instead of trying to balance warfare out with strength, combine them into a single stat. Something like:

Battle (Warfare)
Psyche
Endurance

I know what you're thinking, what do we do with people who want strong characters? Well, you can either make battle strength as well, or you can change strength into something similar too a power. It costs X points to have more strength than an average human. Say abnormal strength for X points, just like you were buying pattern. There can even be higher levels of it. This way, it eliminates the problem of constantly dumping stats into strength, since it's capped as a minor power.

This means that someone with high Battle (warfare) against another person who -also- has strength, will be in trouble if the strength powered person gets their hands on them.

Thoughts?

Aside from the fact that I mentioned a tri-stat system half a dozen posts back not so much :)
