Three stats to rule them all!

Three stats to rule them all! I'm updating my 2-Page Space rules to only have three stats instead of the classic six. There are only three classes and I feel without a wider variety of classes that each have their own favored stat, you just end up with multiple dump stats.

So I need to decide what to call them.
I'm thinking:
Body
Coordination
Mind

Other ideas?

    Tri-Stat & BESM used:  
    Mind (Knowledge/Intellect)  This would cover int & common sense aspect of wisdom.
    Body (Athleticism/Physical condition) This would cover STR, Dex, & Con
    Spirit (Charm/Force of Will),  This would cover Charisma and the willpower aspect of wisdom.

    I found that to work very well.

    I sort of like folding strength and dexterity together (ie., having a Body stat cover both things), but it depends on what you want to highlight. What about a tech-use stat like Acumen?

    A combo of both those ideas might be:
    Body (all three usual physical stats)
    Acumen (intelligence, education (I really like the term acumen))
    Will (wisdom, charisma)
    Those pretty much follow the three classes. I would have to change combat a bit more than I was thinking, but it might be worth it.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Correction in comments, I'm still mad

Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
