[snip] I don't mean that they shouldn't be used to keep track of the player abilities, but only that the player should not necessarily know what they are. I don't think it is very realistic to see numbers in place of attributes. Asking Joe Player what his strength is should not result in a reply of 16. The score should state 'moderately strong' or something equivalent instead. Perhaps the descriptions that result from the player stats could be used to create a 'default' player description. I know many players don't take the time to fill that out when generating a character. Perhaps this could become a requirement on a RP MUD?
