I’m thinking about ditching Skills.
Skills like The Sword, Art, and Bureaucracy really only ever link up with one Virtue (Prowess, Beauty, and Cunning). Not only that, but they seem to be nothing more than just extensions of those Virtues. That makes them more like aspects… and perhaps they should be.
On the other hand, Skills like Revenge and Romance are more like motivations. The reason your character does something. I can see Strength + Revenge just as easily as I can see Cunning + Romance.
And so, instead of Skills, we’ll have “Motivations.” Revenge and Romance are the first two. I’d like to have at least five. But, what else does a ven really need?
