simple Δiegetic advancement

With apologies to PbtA, Sam's Zouave achievements, and Justin's Quester.

• Whenever failing at a roll gets you in trouble, make a little mark next to it.
  
• Each time you waste more loot than you have before on carousing/charity/training/something else fun, improve all of those things by one. 
• Or if incrementation by one is a huge deal, maybe flip a coin or somethingto see if any given one advances.
  

Technically this is not Mosaic Strict. But it's light and portable and organic and I hope fits the same spirit!

overloading the ability score roll

The best part of 3d6 in order is that you get to spin a story out of the wacky results - okay, so this person has a high str and low con, so they're like, built like one of those resistance-focused athletes that have trouble with long-distance, and they have a high int and low wis, which means... or whatever. 

But sometimes everything is between 8 and 12 and you have to be subtle, and I myself am terrible at subtlety. That's where this chart comes in - you don't even have to roll any new dice!

	STR			DEX
1	waifish	reclines most waking hours	no intuitive sense of Archimedes' principle	klutz	shaky hands	reacts slowly
2	short	asks others to open jars	lifts from back	no sense of rhythm	left-handed (and uses right to conform but has never really developed it)
3	lanky	dominant arm much stronger than the other	often has a sprained muscle	can't pat head and rub belly at same time	missing a finger	easily startled

6	huge	strict lifting regimen	practices yoga	parkour player	reflexively plays cat's cradle	reacts instantly
	CON			INT
1	rare disease	wheezy	fragile bones	illiterate	innumerate	incurious
2	the clap	gets terrible sleep	squeamish	aliterate	forgetful	reflexively credulous
3	sweats profusely	hates exercise	used to comfortable surroundings	uses same phrases over and over	perfectly capable of math, but excuses laziness by being "not a math person"	reflexively dismissive
4	decent immune system from filthy surroundings	raised in mountains	iron liver	keeps journal	memorizes lists and categories	reflexively believes experts
5	never gets the cold	can hold breath prodigiously	gets into bar fights	obsessed with puns	enjoys pointing out fallacies	reflexively suspends judgment
6	gets sick rarely enough that they're unfamiliar with what it feels like	long-distance runner	relishes pain	composes poetry	obsessed with riddle contests	always curious to hear a new argument
	WIS			CHA
1	never dreams	missing an eye	drinking habit	just plain fugly	walks with a slouch	actively tries to alienate people
2	religious skeptic	absent-minded	no tolerance for boredom	halitosis	stutters	cranky
3	religious but not spiritual	colorblind	gets excited for projects and has no follow-through	awkward proportions	opens up on favorite subject	aloof in a studied way, like a pickup artist or sable-clad poet
4	spiritual but not religious	perfect pitch	reflexively refuses to give up	not universally good-looking, but definitely some people's "type"	opens up when drinking	unrelentingly positive
5	prays daily	fastitiously clean due to keen sense of smell	infinite patience	fashion conscious	brashly confident	kind smile
6	prophetic dreams	practiced meditator	ascetic	model-good looks	brashly confident... if the situation requires it	intuitive sense of what others want

Don't roll on everything at once; that way lies madness. But you can pick a few at your leisure that give you a better sense of who this person is to hit the ground running.
