>Explain legs, arms aso.
Those are suppose to be the synergistic pairs.
STR & DEX mostly govern arm related things.
>from experience, a lot of repair work needs both strong and dexterous hands to carefully apply force.
END & AGI mostly govern leg work.
>both are the main stats for dodging & athletics
PER & CMP mostly govern situational awareness.
>both are needed for accuracy
>CMP is my version of WITS from VTM:B
INT & WIS mostly govern scholarly things.
>WIS is usually lump w/ PER but I split it to add more focus on non-combat elements. It is also make PER seem less like mind reading. One idea that I'm particularly happy about is having "Amnesiac" background which caps the player character's effective WIS by a low amount. It is intended for blind first playthroughs as the NPCs would be more patient w/ the PC & explain things that should be common knowledge. Picking the background unlock a side quest to recover memories. The more points invested into WIS above the effective the WIS cap the more memories to unlock which would uncap the effective WIS.
WILL & CHA mostly govern social interactions.
>It is a mix & split of the different social stats. I didn't include Beauty because it was just not that mechanically interesting to me & a perk would have been better. WILL is used for intimidation while CHA is used for persuasion.
The idea originally was each pair would translate to weird quirks if there is a big gap between the two stats. Although I wonder if it is a even good idea mechanically but I like the flavor.
>STR w/o DEX = Klutz
>DEX w/o STR = can't open pickle jar
>END w/o AGI = stiff
>AGI w/o END = injury prone
>PER w/o CMP = sensory overload
>CMP w/o PER = head on the clouds
>INT w/o WIS = midwit
>WIS w/o INT = schizo (sees patterns where they don't exist)
>WILL w/o CHA = autist
>CHA w/o WILL = asskisser/normie
The attributes are grouped into 3 w/ the last one to be unlocked. For example in character creation, the body & mind attributes start at 5.
