About as foolish as Pendragon's core mechanics, eh? Well, each to his own.
Before playing Pendragon, I too thought Greg must have flipped when writing
the personality trait rules. After experiencing their use in play, I was
profoundly impressed. So are many of the happy Pendragon (and Pendragon
Pass, MoonQuest, etc.) players out there. They Work.
Mind you, this doesn't mean renown will...
