This loses the ugliness of numbers while avoiding the chancy
interpretation of adjectives (just how hurt is "in agony" as vs
"moaning with pain"?) Essentially you now have a percentage value.
The problem which it chares with all the other general systems is in
evaluating what 20% damage (or whatever) really means in game
functionality.
ie given a stat at XXX level, what can and can't I do because of that
stat?
