Ratings/Traits overkill

His low hit power should make that tendency a liability instead of saying he won't ever attempt to do it.

I am in exact agreement with the bold...
And really I like the idea of tendencies over traits, the DNA stuff you guys mentioned sounds awesome.
Again, the ratings should determine the outcome/ the results where tendencies should govern the "style/type" of attempt made...
