Ok, that's not what I'd define as a stat, but OK.

One possibility is of course to include an ordinal data type, with a
set of text strings that can be used, i.e build could be 'stocky',
'rotund', 'slim' ...etc.

This would make the stat usable for other things than esthetic(sp?)
reasons.  Perhaps each number should be associated with a text
description?

i have a feeling this doesn't exactly do what you want, thouh.
