I'm making a FF CCG, pretty professional looking too.

I need some help making the attributes of the crew. I know I will get some heat for my opinions, but I'll update the attributes as suggestions come in.

Here we go.

The New and Updated One:

Check out the Serenity RPG book. There's a ton of information in there.

Well, you are missing Educated or "Professionally Trained", as in Simon, Inara, Zoe, and Wash. That could replace your Medical field which you only have Simon listed.

I would delineate between "learned" attributes, such as, manners, religious, weapons expert, any specific training, etc

and

"Innate" attributes, such as intelligence, sensitivity to others, technical aptitude, etc

Also, River is intelligent and knows things through telepathy, but I don't see that as wisdom, wisdom is gained through life experiences, and River actually lacks that. And I really don't see her as very sensitive either; she's a pretty tough little gal considering what she has endured. Mal and Jayne both belittle her in front of others (crazy and moon brain) and she doesn't even seem to be aware or care that they've said something hurtful. And same for Simon, sympathetic maybe, but he takes on Mal without even batting an eye and I don't recall him ever crying or teary eyed.

And, I know this is hard to believe, but Jayne just might be the most logical person on the crew, but Mal, since when?

Thanks man, thats the kind of feedback I want. I will make some changes. See, my CCG is based on Jobs, and certain jobs of course need different attributes/skills, so clumping them all together into one "professional field" might now work, but I will play around with it, I do see your point though. That there is a difference in things learned, and those that are innate.

Thanks alot, I would appreciate anymore that you can think of.

Can you do a gray box for some sort of "partially skilled" ?

Examples: Zoe removes the bullet from Simon in Objects In Space, surely indicates some medical skill, also treats Book in Safe. Seems to me Inara assists Simon in the Pilot, treating Kaylee?
Also Inara is at least partly religious, mentions praying for Mal in the Train Job, also has a concern for temples; and a shrine to Buddha in the BDM .

Or would that end up with gray boxes for almost everybody in every category?

Who is Zoey?
And for Bishop. you should go to "Aliens" sites - it has a character by that name.

Inara is religious. She prays for Mal all the time, just doesn't tell him.
Mal was the medical expert before Simon arrived.

Simon must have manners.
Simon and River are logical, even if we don't understand River.
Wash not sexual? he gets more sex onscreen (or postcoital) than anybody (Inara's is known, but not seen.)

Thanks for reminding me, I havn't updated the manners, I did add simon. And wash has a sexual too.
I do like adding Inara as religious, but someone has already commented on that.

I was thinking about separating Medical Ex into two.
Professional Medical
and
Medkit Training.
What do ya guys think?

I updated my original post with the new chart

I would consider Mal to have more medical than Inara.

Not sure of the purpose and scope of this.
Should there be a "street smarts" category? Simon would not be included, Mal, Zoe, Jayne would.

Now that Zoe, she would be sexual as much as Wash.

Is there a job in which street smarts is essential to it's completion, all the other stats are based off of the jobs requirements. If there is, then I will add it.

Thanks for your input, I'll think about the zoe sexual thing - does anyone else have an opinion on this one?
