Expedition: general discussions.

Since we're already discussing this, I'll reiterate the ideas from my thread. Strength - damage in melee combat, limitations on certain types of armor and weapons. Accuracy - damage in ranged combat, accuracy in melee and ranged combat. Reaction - evasion, movement range, stealth. Constitution - health reserve, limitations on certain types of armor, resistance to poisons and diseases. Intelligence - turn order, non-combat specializations (healer, crafter, hacker). Willpower - magic power and resistance (and its analogues), diplomacy. All parameters will increase to 100, and in some cases, they will be treated as percentages. I'll allow for free distribution, as all my races are either humans or their derivatives, which will be quite adequate.
