Is anyone else as intimidated as I am to mess with the names of the Stats? I know most of the hacks have changed the customized the Stats names, but the more I look at them the more I realize how well they were chosen.

Each Stat in AW is more than just a simple description of a character attribute. As far as I can tell each stat describes (at least) 4 separate aspects of a character:

1) Physical
2) Mental
3) Personality
4) Appearance

Take Hard for example:
Physically, Hard refers to a character's strength, toughness or power. Mentally it is a character's will power or determination. It describes a character's intimidating, harsh or stoic personality. And, for appearance, Hard can refer to a massive, sculpted or calloused exterior.

For me, this is making the difficult task of coming up with genre-appropriate stats even more daunting.
