Editing Samsara:Attributes (section)

==More Simplified Characters==
An even more simplified system is to reduce a character’s attributes down to the spheres of action.  A character would have only three attributes: Physical, Mental, and Social.  In this case, definitely do not add two attributes together to determine modifiers.  Just pick the attribute appropriate to the sphere of action and run with it.  

This means that you might have to increase the attribute to make an even match with the full characters.  So perhaps the goblin has a Physical score of +5.  This doesn’t mean that he is the strongest man in the world.  A full character with a STR +3 is actually stronger, since an attribute test would give the full guy a +6 modifier.  Right?

This system is incompatible with running in the Romantic mode since there is nothing to choose from.
