NYSRPG:Attributes

In nys, attributes are immutable traits inherent to the character and represent his/her potential.

Possibilities

There are many possible attributes for an RPG system.

Here are some:

• Strength (Arms/Legs)
• Health (Poison and Diseases)
• Agility (Dodge/Balance)
• Dexterity (Hand-eye Coordination)
• Influence (Influence rolls)
• Beauty
• Resistance (Marathon)
• Intelligence
• Memory
• Will
• Magery
• Charisma
• Alertness
• Senses
• Empathy
• Self-control
• Intuition
• ESP

Choices

As you can see, some of these can, and should be, condensed.

For example:

• Health + Resistance = Vitality
• Intelligence + Memory = Intellect
• Alertness + Senses + (possibly)Empathy = Perception
• Will + Self-control = Will

While others are situational, and can be put aside:

• Magery
• ESP
• Beauty (note that while everyone has a Beauty score, it's not very important in-game)
