87 well, the main reason I ask is because I already have 3 tables in my database purely because of stats, not counting any modifiers or base stats.
the tables are statSheets. These can be used to give names to the stat in rp's (this way sci-fy themed rp's aren't stuck with stats called "magic defense". Eventually it will allow users to make their own themes as well)
Stat roles is so that my site understands that for example "hack" or "magic skill" need to be rolled for am ability by the user against either "firewall" or "magic defense"
then we have stats, this holds the name, what sheet they belong to and the role id. (Among a custom description if the user wants it).
thus I either end up with 5 tables purely storing stuff for stats or 4
