==Select Dis/Advantages==
;Dis/Advantages:Advantages and Disadvantages are a way a player can create a more varied and unique character. They are special traits about the character which do not directly translate into Attributes or Skills. All Advantages and Disadvantages will have a listed cost, advantages cost these points, and disadvantages give you more points to spend. Advantages can take the form of inherent abilities, advantages to social or financial status, or other circumstances which give a clear advantage over the average character. Disadvantages can include mental or physical handicaps, social or financial difficulties, enemies (known or unknown), and other circumstances. When selecting Advantages, keep in mind the GM will often set a ‘limit’ on the total costs of all Advantages and Disadvantages.
