The following is a suggestion of the breakdown of Attributes for The Grimm Window. The list can be altered as required by your specific game, for example adding magic resistance or madness.

This list has been heartlessly stolen from Richard together with a suggested restriction on starting stats to 'even out' characters at start of a game. [ TAB(attributes) ]

The starting character is Joe Average with Average in all of the Attributes. You can tweak your character by raising first-level categories to Good or Great. Any rise must be balanced by an equivalent lowering of one of the other categories.

"Jean Claudid raises his Physical Attribute to Great. He must then lower his Mental or Social Attribute to Poor, or both of them to Basic."

If a character at this point has for example Great Physicality he also has a Great Build, a Great Dexterity and so on. We can further tweak the character though. For each of teh first-level categories we can raise one of the second-level categories one step up with a corresponding lowering of one of the other second-level categories.

"Jean Claudid raises his Strength to an Exceptional level. He must then lower either Constitution or Dexterity to Average."

We can do further refinement of the third-level categories which works just like the refinement of the second-level categories. The maximum a particular third-level Attribute can be raised to using this method is then Legendary, and at the price of being rather under-developed at something else.
