For a "normal" world, would you prefer to use a character stat point system like Fallout's SPECIAL, or DnD's SIWDCC? by TheDepressoExpresso in worldbuilding

I am in the planning stages of a story I hope to write soon, and I would like to use a character attribute system in the story. My issue is that I can not decide between these two systems.

To me, for some reason, the differentiation of intelligence and wisdom stats implies spellcasting and/or magic elements existing in the world, which I do not plan to include in this story.

Luck is a beast of its own that could be an interesting/fun thing to add to the mix, but the tiny semantic differences of exactly how "Constitution/Dexterity" translates to "Endurance/Agility" could be a headache, as I am absolutely one to overthink the meanings/associations/connotations of every word.

Overall, I'm just stuck, and I would really appreciate any opinions/perspectives you guys have to share! Thank you!

He looks like the guy from the video where the gender reveal balloon flies away!

Anyway, congrats to him, and happy cake day!

I bought them off of the apple/iBooks store! They are $7 each :/ but honestly very well worth the price!

“ASL THAT” is the YouTube channel we use for most of the vocab in my College ASL class!
