I mentioned this earlier on - I don't think we could have a strict
tree-structure like you have proposed here. The problems Ketil bring
up just go to show that, IMO. For example - Build would influence
both the raw-strength-power-to-kick-ass stat and the
tough-enough-to-be-shot stat. 

I think a better way would be to make a interconnected net, but where
you could work your way from the skills up without getting into loops.

For example:

Muscle.
Height.
Weight.
Endurance.
Concentration.
Build:		Height, Weight.
Toughness:	Endurance, Muscle, Build.
Strength:	Muscle, Concentration.

where of course, Build is for example calculated by some operation on
Height and Weight - average or something simpler.

	Ketil> o Is Build 'below' strength?  I'd put it the other way
	Ketil> around, but..

Agreed. Or I'd rather put Height and Weight below Build.

	Ketil> o Same for agil/dex, agility should be the more general
	Ketil> stat IMHO

Agreed.

	Ketil> o Faith is Reason? How about under wisdom?

Wisdom is a stat I cannot stand. 

	Ketil> o XP as a stat...well why not? :-) Untraditional to say
	Ketil> the least..

Well, depends on how we want to implement the payback for play. If we
just give the players skill-advancements, we may not need Exp at all. 

	Ketil> o 'Energy' appears to me to be a little arbitrary, and
	Ketil> genre-dependent, and I don't at all see what the

Agreed. Keep magic to the genre-spesific parts. Make magic a seperate
method that stays below the Concentration-like part or the
Intelligence-like part, for faith-magic or magician-magic.
