Taking another look at the characteristics, here is a breakdown of their inclusion among the sources:
There are 5 characteristics shared between the intro, descriptions, and the published product.
Strength
Intelligence
Charisma
Dexterity
Stamina
Two characteristics shows up in two spots.
Constitution (technically once as an alternate name for Stamina and once as a separate characteristic)
Health
One characteristic is only mentioned once.
Knowledge
That adds up to a total of 8 characteristics with varying degrees of clarity about their use or inclusion. I can see no problem at all with the first five being used. Looking at the other three characteristics bring up a few questions:
Is there a substantial difference between Stamina, Constitution, and Health?
Is Intelligence and Knowledge the same thing in the game?
Just a little food for thought.
