"adulating" is so millennial, how about "Profession" or "Career" or I suppose "Working"

Because this has been a pet peeve of mine since forever, why split physique into Health and Muscle and not Speed into, say, agility and dexterity? Regardless I am 100% down for this. "adulating" is so millennial, how about "Profession" or "Career" or I suppose "Working" Keeps the "-ing" theme going I guess? =P

"adulating" is so millennial Yeah, I know. Thus my P.S. how about "Profession" or "Career" or I suppose "Working" I would really, if at all possible, like to keep the pattern of "-ing" named skills. Working could be an option. why split physique into Health and Muscle and not Speed into, say, agility and dexterity? Because, in my mind, health and strength do not have a direct relationship, whereas agility and dexterity are at least somewhat related to each other. And I'm also considering a "More Capable" gift and a "Less Capable" fault; so you could, for instance, have a character with Speed +1 (Good), and "More Capable (manual dexterity)" which would give some benefit or penalty to attribute/skill checks where whatever is specified in the gift/fault ("manual dexterity" in the example given) applies. Dunno what that benefit is... it may be a +/-1 on the die, or ignoring a minus/plus result on the roll or something. Also, Speed may actually become Agility. I'm not 100% sold on Speed as a good name.

That's fair enough. I feel the opposite way (consider that gross dexterity fades with age much faster than fine) but I am definitely in the minority as far as game design philosophy goes. =P

You could change Adulting to Practicing or Functioning. Like I am a Practicing (doctor) or Functioning (alcoholic).

Or if someone who adults is an adulter, you could have an adultering doctor! I think I have a video featuring that usage. But next time I plan to spend the weekend drinking, I may just let everyone know that I will be functioning.
