B-Grade Stats & Skills

STATS and SKILLS

• Characters in B-Grade have six Stats: Body, Dexterity, Sense, Brains, Charm, and Spirit. These are the innate physical and mental characteristics of the character, and "govern" certain skills. Skills are under each stat. (and the skill set has been limited to about 4 per stat. I don't like massive skill sets in games)
