Perhaps in the future I will find myself preparing something similar. I'll definitely fill this out in a moment for my own characters just for the fun of it if its alright with you(I won't post it, of course... unless you'd like people to for any reason).

Thank you for the topic.

I guess its not entirely flexible but that is to be expected of such things.

It's best to think of the stats of how your character generally is on the whole as opposed to how they would behave towards certain people.  Otherwise the stats would swing around very drastically depending on whether you're dealing with someone you love or someone you hate.

Yeah, this is pretty much the whole point of using character sheets and, well, I don't really see the point of doing one when everyone has the same point total in the end. We end up right where we started, you know?

This is *really* neat because it takes into account all of the usual stuff people actually do in game.   I am gonna have to pick your brain for more clarification on how this all works for future events.  

Though, I will admit that my goal in borrowing and tweaking Faolan's system was to create something simple enough where people would be able to engage or attack one another without a GM/DM present 100% of the time.  I feel like a larger, much more dense character sheet makes that harder, even if it does a much more satisfying job taking into account every aspect of our characters.

This version, however, does not have alternative Health Points; rather, the stats themselves are the health points. Points in one stat can slide to another based on in-game actions, and the complete emptying of a stat could result in some kind of emotional or physical trauma.  I think it's a pretty awesome system, and I keep trying to remind myself to transcribe the One-Roll Crime system from it to this RPC, so you might want to give it a look for ideas.
