All the other stats are named after properties of the character, but Fear is the thing being defended against.<br /><br />The primary stat to add would be a social one, so Savvy is at the top of the list. <br /><br />I tend to feel that saves in MS should be treated like stats, so if we fiddle and merge and whatever our stats become Body, Speed, Intellect, Social, Combat, Will, Sanity, Armor. Still have 8, but without the strength / body redundancy.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-8689560588634098772019-09-01T08:35:13.867-04:002019-09-01T08:35:13.867-04:00Which stats do you wish to add?

Eclipse Phase stats are:<br /><br />1) Cognition - How smart you are / how well you can use your brain<br />2) Intuition - Thinking on your feet and with your gut<br />3) Reflex - Moving quick and nimbly<br />4) Savvy - Ability to navigate social situations<br />5) Somatics - How well you can use your body<br />6) Will - Willpower, self explanatoryDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-58234649290675593012019-08-31T12:58:30.648-04:002019-08-31T12:58:30.648-04:00I am still a big fan of this whole idea; I have th...I am still a big fan of this whole idea; I have this odd thought about doing Fading Suns on this approach.
