Wh...I have to admit I'm struggling with those. What sort of things were you thinking of for Sensible? <br /><br />Tomboyish is a classic Blytonism but is fundamentally about how other people perceive you. I'm sure you could get use out of it, but at the same time it's sort of squirrelly. On the narrower sort of interpretation it's really just about mannerisms and clothing, which doesn't seem very useful unless you particularly want to impersonate a boy for some reason (which could well happen). If you take it at a more George level, then it's a really broad thing covering all kinds of athletics, courage, survival skills, and basically anything else Blyton thought was admirable, but then it's getting kind of OP, you know? Those should really be their own aspects.<br /><br />It's going to depart partly on where personality begins and ends. Some work for weaknesses; Lazy is easy, for example, also Hot-Headed, Stubborn as I already said, Inquisitive, Overconfident. Kind maybe won't be that useful.<br /><br />In general though, the sensible thing would be to allow whatever traits everyone agrees on as appropriately useful: not too broad, not too niche.<br /><br />On another note arguably I could have had everyone pick personality, skill and interest aspects but yeah, 10 minutes, and I'm not sure it would be an actual improvement.Shimmin Beghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350037986748679919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533573536330092840.post-29479628473329431822013-12-12T23:13:02.492+00:002013-12-12T23:13:02.492+00:00I think I'd be more inclined to allow bonuses ...I think I'd be more inclined to allow bonuses from personality traits. I can think of several situations in which being "sensible" might be useful, for example. "Tomboyish" also has fine Blyton precedent.Dan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711867728179306264noreply@blogger.com
