I am writing a description for a video game that I am working on and I can't tell if this is grammatically correct. It seems like something is off but I just don't know what it is. Can anyone help?
Choose from a diverse cast of feisty little characters to battle through the harsh trenches of flavorful pastry warzones. Each blub boasts their own special combination of 5 different characteristics that bring a one of a kind experience to every battle. These fundamental skills include: speed, strength, health, agility and elusiveness. Here's a sneak peak of the starting blub gang lineup: Here’s a sneak peak of the starting lineup of the blub gang: (then listed them below)
Agree with chai plus if you're listing all of the characteristics then don't use the word include, use the word are. Include implies you're not naming everything.
Oh, and I wouldn't call it elusiveness. A better term is stealth.
Yes that does sound better, thanks! Does it look weird that I have two consecutive sentences with colons? I think that is the part that is bothering me lol
Not really, you put a colon before a list and it looks like you have two lists, therefore two colons.

@nicole1016,
You don’t need both of those last sentences. (I thought you were giving us a choice)
