I was pondering over PC stats and was wondering how many different ones there are? A lot of them cover the same ground and some in different ways.

So throw in your favorite games PC stats and lets see how many are the same and how many are different

D&D
Strength
Dexterity
Constitution
Intelligence
Wisdom
Charisma

Marvel Super Heroes
Fighting
Agility
Strength
Endurance
Reason
Intuition
Psyche

Rifts
Intelligence, mental agility. Equivalent to a real life IQ divided by 10.
Mental Endurance, willpower, coping with stress and mental strain
Mental Affinity, charm, charisma, how naturally endearing to others a character is
Physical Strength, the amount of power the body can exert
Physical Prowess, agility, dexterity, hand to eye coordination
Physical Endurance, the body's resistance to damage and illness as well as a character's stamina and fitness
Physical Beauty, how attractive a character is
Speed, how fast a character can run

That is the list of games I used to play regularly. How many more stats/attributes are there in your favorite games?

Are you asking about basic Stats only or should we be thinking about derive stats as well?

Dropzonetoe Fezian16 Oct 2012 12:59 p.m. PST

I'm asking for them all I guess,

Thanks for adding these. I am looking to compile them as I am working through a custom RPG set of rules and would like to see what others have used before.

Traveller has:

Age (self explanatory, only comes in to play when you reach middle age and have to start making "aging crisis" checks.)
Strength (how much force can you exert?)
Dexterity (how accurate are you?)
Endurance (how long can you do stressful things?)
Intelligence (how good are you at solving problems?)
Education (how much "schoolin'" do you have?)
Social Standing (where do you fall, socio-economically?)
Psionics (optional, requires illegal training to use)
Charisma (Vargrs only, replaces Social Standing for them)

Social Standing is interesting because it not only controls how much money you have to spend on personal upkeep, but it also controls how much "weight" you have to throw around. If you don't spend your "upkeep", you are in danger of losing status!

Psionics is theoretically available to any race of psi-capable sophonts, but since studying psionics is illegal in the Imperium, you have to go underground to get the training. Psi also deteriorates quickly after you reach adulthood if you don't train to use it.

Also Big Eyes, Small Mouth (The "Tristat" system.)

Mind (all intellectual stuff)
Body (all physical stuff)
Spirit (willpower, personal presence, attitude, charisma, etc.)

infojunky20 Oct 2012 4:29 a.m. PST

Well the quest begs, What do stats portray?

Ganesha Games Sponsoring Member of TMP20 Oct 2012 3:17 p.m. PST

Tales of Blades and Heroes has only two formal stats. Quality (the "to do stuff" stat) and Combat (the "fight" stat). THese are, however, modified by lots of special rules. For example you could be Focused so your Quality (which normally is a 4, meaning that a 4 on a d6 will give you one success) is 3 on mental rolls and 5 on social rolls.
