I'm going to have to agree with Stratelier. While "Individual strengths" does sound nice than "Individual values", everyone who understands the concept is used to the term and understands it well enough that changing it now will simply create an unnecessary headache. Mentions in guidebooks, which the vast majority of players don't bother with, shouldn't be relied on too heavily. [[User:Nokota|Nokota]] ([[User talk:Nokota|talk]]) 12:01, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
