Hmm.. I do not stat things out completely that I don't need.
I do rather think of one or two personality traits or quirks (that I can game out) than the merchant's riding skill (that I probably can't).
Similarly, restricting one's own imagination (as a GM) by what can be built from powers or achieved with published spells is playing the game the wrong way around imo.
I don't particularly care if the sudden onset of a storm thoughout the land couldn't possibly be afforded by the evil mage's FP reserves as long as it fits the image and story. Magic should be
magic, not mechanic.
