I then have several secondary attributes that I’d want, like
Stamina = STR + WIL+ ?? { I want it to be physical + mental)
Reflexes = AGI + WIT (how quickly you notice and respond)
Composure = CHA + WIT (How well you convince people you’re fine and how quickly you think of how to do that)
Willpower = INT + WIL + ?? (Intellect certainly helps willpower but it’s not enough alone ...)
STR and AGI are quite important in other aspects, so they’re not getting shorted by appearing once each. I am not sure that I see Guile/Cunning/Manipulation (all judges words I think) filling into Stamina, perhaps into Willpower.
Thoughts would be helpful.
There’s no reason I can’t make characters spend points in Stamina stat etc, I just was trying to eliminate dump stats.
