	My feeling is that just put in another attribute.  There is
nothing mystical about 3 attributes, the point of the TFT attributes 
was they were useful and tightly coupled to the game's systems
(unlike in D&D).

	I have added a couple of new attributes in my campaign:
Rvank (RV) is used by demons to help determine their 'status' in
their own society and helps me explain to myself why they don't 
just kill each other off.  If an attribute is useful and different then
add it in!
