I would like to thank Dan and Sergio for their insightful comments.

>>I don't think Coordination and Agility are necessarily redundant<<

Dan: Which is why I added the caveat that my statement was laregly a matter of opinion.

In fairness to Sweet Chariot, I would add, the semblance of redundancy may disappear in actual play. For instance, as Sergio stated:

>>There is a further advantage if the system uses the same set of standards for humanoids and creatures. The latter can have agility without coordination if they don't manipulate objects. Thus you can have a cat with high agility - better than an human - and devoid of coordination, for instance.<<

That is a very good consideration. Clash indicates this was, indeed, the case. From a design perspective this depth of thought is only to be commended.

My suggestion: Make it clear that this, indeed, is the point.

I know that probably sounds silly, a request to state the obvious in print. It should be obvious, certainly it was to Sergio, but as a Game Master I'd like all the help to diffuse stupid questions before they get asked that I can get!

Kester, looking forward to 2e!
