I wholeheartedly agree on this one :)

True. The limit between a numeric and a boolean/text stat would need to
be set so, that all the stats that affect skills would be numeric (I
think that a boolean stat wouldn't be too easy to apply to a base
skill.) Some, mostly descriptive stats, would be better off as boolean
or text. We'd need to know something about the skill system before
drawing the actual lines (numeric/boolean/...,) though.
