Social Conflicts

[David Bofinger]

TFT bundles strength and endurance into ST; dexterity and agility into DX; and intelligence, education, willpower, cunning, charisma and perception into IQ. The last is by far the most problematic, and not just for social reasons.

Increasing the number of attributes is an obvious path that most are wisely hesitant to tread. The more useful attributes like strength and agility would have to be more expensive than the less useful ones like willpower.

Another philosophy is a TFT where there are no attributes, only talents with levels and prerequisites. I think that could work.

I agree that talents with prereqs are more significant than talents without. I give them a +3 instead of a base +2 in my proposed social conflict document. I haven't talked about that document in this thread yet because I wanted to be a little agnostic about it, at least at the start, but here I am linking to it anyway.
