I don't recall there being anything about sexual prowess when we were actually doing the Tarnsman of Gor stuff and it didn't last that long before we dropped it. Ithink that is was late in 1972 or early in 1973...

I never had my own copy of Svenny's character sheet. In fact, I was surprised when his stats were published in DA1. Dave had an index card for each character and let me have it sometimes during the gaming sessions, but then collected it again at the end. My recollection is that the stats matched more closely those published in OD&D, with some minor name changes (appearance for cha and stamina for con). And while the original stat range was from 1-10, there were some as high as 13 (Svenny's wife's appearance for example). In my recollection, the stats were used more for task resolution than for adjustments in combat.
