Verbing
I noticed some of our skills are present-tense verbs (Run, Swim, Dodge, Search, etc.) and some of them are not. I kind of like the idea of skills all being verbs. It's a lot more natural for reading. Example: "You take a penalty to Perform" sounds like an actual sentence, as opposed to "You take a penalty to Performance". The problem is that I'm having trouble coming up with verbs for some of our skills. Here are some examples of ones that are easily translated:
- Perception → Perceive
- Healing → Heal
- Reaction → React
Some of the more difficult ones include Mettle, Clairvoyance, and Machinery, but there are others.
Is this idea worth the trouble? ―Double Compile 11:36, 12 June 2011 (EDT)
