The Fourth Attribute...

I don't disagree with you here -- I'm very reluctant to actually add any additional attributes. Indeed, I answered this thread in the first place in the spirit in which Ty asked the question -- sort of tongue-in-cheek. (But if one was added, I'd still argue for HT for all the reasons I've stated above...) And I too feel that "luck" or "fate" points might be a useful addition, but not as an "attribute;" instead as a pool that the GM can refresh at his/her discretion. It's a bit "gamey," but it adds some real excitement to the game as players spend them to make miraculous saves!

(Heck, maybe that's the whole solution to the priest/theologian thing in the other thread! Maybe what Gods do is provide the occasional "Luck" point to the characters if they do something the God approves of!)
