And I always thought the characteristics were deliberately designed 
so that they were _all_ useful for some important part of the game 
(ie close combat, ranged combat, staying sane, and doing wacky shit). 
I'm disillusioned. Subtle reinforcement of setting concept just ain't 
the same   :-)

FWIW, it didn't work on my players. But I think that's more to do 
with the fact that they're playing characters based on their real 
life selves, so having a low Mind is just too demeaning...
