| |
| 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?
