| + | In [[NYSRPG:Main_Page|nys]], attributes are immutable traits inherent to the character and represent his/her potential. | ||
| + | ==Possibilities== | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are many possible attributes for an RPG system: | ||
| + | |||
| + | *Strength (Arms/Legs) | ||
| + | *Health (Poison and Diseases) | ||
| + | *Agility (Dodge/Balance) | ||
| + | *Dexterity (Hand-eye Coordination) | ||
| + | *Influence (Intimidation, Bluff, Diplomacy, Leadership) | ||
| + | *Beauty | ||
| + | *Resistance (Marathon) | ||
| + | *Intelligence | ||
| + | *Memory | ||
| + | *Will | ||
| + | *Magery | ||
| + | *Charisma | ||
| + | *Alertness | ||
| + | *Senses | ||
| + | *Empathy | ||
| + | *Self-control | ||
| + | *Intuition | ||
| + | *ESP | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Simplifications== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 and ESP (not every character has supernatural powers) | ||
| + | *Beauty (note that while everyone has a Beauty score, most of the time it doesn't matter) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Choices== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The main goal when choosing a set of attributes is to provide one that's balanced, a character with "Vitality-13" has the same power of another with "Intellect-13". While it's impossible to fully describe a person with 10-20 numbers, this set should contain at least sufficient information to run a typical fantasy campaign. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===List Candidate=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | *Strength | ||
| + | *Vitality | ||
| + | *Dexterity | ||
| + | *Perception | ||
| + | *Intellect | ||
| + | *Presence | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Issues=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | *Are jumping, running, and other leg exercises included in Strength? Should I put them under Vitality? | ||
| + | *Presence covers all forms of social interaction and also the character's willpower. Should I split it into Charisma and Resolution? | ||
| + | *Nys won't have an Agility attribute. Which "Agility abilities" should become Dexterity abilities, which should be Perception abilities? | ||
| + | *Hit Points come from Vitality alone? Or Strength+Vitality? | ||
| + | *Mana? | ||
