Editing Action Dramatic (section)

===Attributes===
[For now, the attributes are Body (BOD), Mind (MND), and Willpower (POW). Body is used for most physical actions, Mind for mental actions, and Willpower is used to resist control, taunting, and doing heroic stuff like ignoring wounds that would normally kill a man]

[There might also be secondary attributes that describe the character but are non-random, something like size or base run speed. Of course, these could also be just derived stats.]

Attributes increase during gameplay. Each attributes has a track which is filled up by the increase in skills. When this track is filled up, then the attribute in question is increased by 1 and the track resets to zero.

Attributes are added to skills to determine the base rating. For example to run faster than normal, you would use BOD/Athletics.

The average for a modern, first-world country, college-educated, physically fit person is 10 [arbitrary, for now. The variance from 2d6 might be two much, but that's something to be determined in actual gameplay, especially since skills are going to add around 2-6+ to the check]. An obese man would have a BOD of 4 while an Olympic athlete would have a BOD of 20+. A functionally retarded man or a young toddler would have a MND of 4 and a genius with 4 PHDs who speaks 12 languages (including Sanskrit) would have a MND of 20+.
