[DL] Rolling attributes

["William Ogden" <w_ogden@hotmail.com>]

I noticed in my game that 2 in particlar were always first to be a d4, Mien 
and Strength.  The ones that everyone wanted multiple dice in were 
Quickness, Vigor, Cognition.

I decided to do the following:
Mien - use as a "reaction" roll
Knowledge - used to remember misc educational things (one dime novel uses a 
Knowledge check to recognice what kind of ship the posse sees)
Nimbleness - moving on unstable ground

Strength - used as a "minimum Strength" for firearms (I had one char with 
2d4 st using a shotgun; seemed a bit unrealistic.  This rule was that you ST 
had to be at least equivalent to the damage, using a wpn in 2 hands 
increased your st by 1, a long gun (rifle or shotgun) increased it by one as 
well.  An increase equated to either another die, or bump in the die size, 
and those could be exchanged for each other as well.  For example, Bob has 
2d8 ST.  This is equivalnet to 3d6, so he can shoot a Colt .45.  A 
Winchester does 4d8, but as a long gun used in 2 hands, 2d8 is enough for it 
as well.
