I always thought it would be funny to do that except then I feel like I would have made enemies of everyone.

I suppose? I quite like the way World of Darkness did it. There wasn’t as much gradation, but the average human was 2/5, and if you were kind of good at something, or you took a community college course, or something, you could justify a 3. The qualifications in the book were a scale the average person in real life was familiar with and probably even had few of (so my EMT license was a 2 in medicine, my Eagle scout was a 1 in survival, and so forth).

It really made you feel unique, rather than promote this “NPC” shit.
