Changeling: The Dreaming 2nd Edition, © White Wolf Publishing, Inc, 1998 ]

Dexterity This trait measures general physical prowess, speed, quickness, and agility. It indicates your character's capacity for moving precisely and with grace. Dexterity includes hand-eye coordination, fine motor manipulation, reaction speed, reflexes, and finesse. Specialties: Catlike Reflexes, Fleet-Footed, Flexible, Light Touch, Steady Hand, Sure-Footed, Swift
Stamina Stamina measures general health, pain tolerance and endurance. It determines your character's staying power, both physical and mental. Two of its most important elements are the will to live and downright stubbornness (with Willpower). Specialties: Determined, Enduring, High Pain Threshold, Tireless, Tough.
Strength This trait measures brute strength. It represents your character's ability to lift, carry loads and cause harm. A person with high strength rating is usually larger and bulkier than someone with a low rating. In brawling and melee combat, your character's strength rating is applied directly to the damage you may do. Specialties: Lifting, Long Jumping, Strong Grip, Sustained Carrying
Appearance This trait measures more than just physical beauty. Any physical feature-- animation, expressiveness, cuteness, vulnerability, etc-- that others find enticing could be considered part of your appearance. It can be vital in some situations, for like it or not, we're all influenced by the way people look. The appearance trait is used to determine first impressions. Specialties: Bold Demeanor, Fragility, Glamours, Sex Appeal, Style
Charisma This trait measures your character's magnetism and natural charm. It represents her aptitude for enticing, bewitching, and captivating others without having to try. Charisma determines whether others like and trust your character. Specialties: Amusing, Confidant, Diplomatic, Eloquent, Persuasive, Trustworthy.
Persuasiveness This trait measures your character's ability to get results when attempting to force, cajole, or trick another person into doing something. Manipulation works on friends and foes alike, though it may be more difficult on the latter. If your character fails in an attempt to manipulate someone, the target may well realize what was happening and become angry. No one likes being manipulated. Specialties: Cunning, Deceitful, Glib, Patient, Persuasive, Subtle, Underhanded.
Intelligence This trait measures raw mental processes: memory, retention, judgement, reasoning, understanding, and critical thinking. It represents your character's ability to learn and think, and it caters to carefully reasoned judgements rather than snap decisions. Low intelligence can indicate a character who lacks the capacity to understand complicated issues and learns very slowly, whereas a high intelligence character is a sophisticated savant capable of evaluating many different levels of an arguement or problem. A character with a high intelligence can often discern truth from lies, or at least when she has times to think things over. Specialties: Creative, Discerning, Logical, Pragmatic, Scholarly.
Perception This trait covers everything from searching for something to picking up on subtle details in the environment and intuitively putting them together to come up with a reasonable assumption. Perception determines your character's sensitivity to the world around him or her. Often it includes his/her use of insight to understand what he/she perceives. Specialties: Detail-oriented, Empathic, Intuitive, Keen-eyed, Paranoid, Sharp Hearing.
Wits The Wits trait describes your character's ability to react quickly and correctly in pressing or stressful situations. It indicates the overall sharpness of mind and cleverness. A character with a low wits rating, like the veritable 'deer in the headlights', may be easily caught off-guard, tricked, or surprised. Those with a high wits rating are seldom waylaid by sudden changes. Specialties: Clear-headed, Clever, Insults, One Step Ahead, Riddles, Survival.
