Editing Hegemony: Traits/Chargen (section)

=Secondary Trait Sets=
<u>'''Secondary trait dice may be included as appropriate'''</u> Secondary traits represent character abilities or assets that may or may not apply to an action. Dice from these sets can be added to the dice pool only when they specifically apply to the action at hand.

==Knacks [[file:d6a.png|32px|d6]] [[File:Arrow03.png|24px]]==
Knacks are specific specialties under a given Role that the character is just a natural at. 

Starting Knacks are worth an extra [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to the Role it applies to but can be stepped up during chargen as outlined below (as well as via character advancement).

[[file:d0a.png|12px]] Each player gets to assign two free Knacks at [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to their Character's [[file:d10a.png|24px]] Role.

[[file:d0a.png|12px]] Each player gets to assign one free Knack at [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to one of their Character's [[file:d8a.png|24px]] Roles.

[[file:d0a.png|12px]] Each player gets to assign two additional Knacks at [[file:d6a.png|24px]] to any Role rated [[file:d6a.png|24px]] or higher '''OR''' step up an existing Knack (or two) at a one-for-one exchange rate. 

Knacks cannot be assigned to either of a character's [[file:d4a.png|24px]] Roles.

'''No Knack can be stepped up higher than the dice value of the Role it is assigned to.'''

==Relationships [[file:d6a.png|32px|d6]] [[File:Arrow03.png|24px]]==
Each PC has a relationship with every other PC on the crew. Define your relationship with each of the other PCs based on the prompts below (or similar). Do not use the same prompt for more than one character.
*''...saved my life.''
*''...is a liability.''
*''...is a troublemaker.''
*''...is good for a laugh.''
*''...owes me big.''
*''...knows their stuff.''
*''...is dependable.''

Each Relationship is defined from the perspective of your character. Another player might not agree with your character's assessment of theirs (and that should be fine provided it doesn't cause real friction). Work together to decide specific details of chosen definitions.

Once you have mapped out all your relationship definitions, assign the following dice ratings to each. Rank one '''(1)''' at [[file:d10a.png|24px]] one '''(1)''' at [[file:d8a.png|24px]] and the rest at [[file:d6a.png|24px]]

Relationship dice do not get added to your dice pool. Instead add your Relationship die with a given character to that character's pool when you are helping them with an action. 

In this fashion, Relationship dice essentially replace lent Skill dice.

==SFX==
SFX stands for Special Effects. These are rules exceptions unique to certain aspects of your character.

===Attribute SFX===
Chose one '''(1)''' of the following SFX to apply to one '''(1)''' of your three '''(3)''' Attributes.
:'''Reflexes''': Once per scene, step up or double '''Physical''' for an action. Spend a PP to do both. ''1s and 2s count as hitches.''
:'''Cunning''': Once per scene, step up or double '''Mental''' for an action. Spend a PP to do both. ''1s and 2s count as hitches.''
:'''Manipulation''': Once per scene, step up or double '''Social''' for an action. Spend a PP to do both. ''1s and 2s count as hitches.''

===Distinction SFX===
Each of your three distinction SFX comes with the Hinder SFX

:'''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes a distinction works against you.'' <u>Roll [[file:d4a.png|18px|d4]] instead of  [[file:d8a.png|20px|d8]] to gain 1 PP</u>

===Relationship SFX===
Each character has the Teamwork SFX.
:'''Teamwork:''' Once per scene, step up or double a relationship die when helping another character. Spend a PP to do both.

==Discretionary Points [[File:d3b.png|32px]]==
Finish off your character by spending three '''(3)''' discretionary points. These points can be used in the following manner:
* Spend one '''(1)''' point to add a [[file:d6a.png|24px]] Knack to a [[file:d6a.png|24px]] or higher ranked Role.
* Spend two '''(2)''' points to step up a Knack by one die type. ''Knacks may not be stepped up higher than the Role they are attached to.''
* Spend two '''(2)''' points to step up a Relationship by one die type. ''Relationships may not be stepped up higher than'' [[file:d12a.png|24px]]
* Spend three '''(3)''' points to unlock a Distinction SFX. 

SFX guidelines may be found in the Prime handbook on pages '''61-63''' (excepting limits). Do not use the guidelines for distinctions found on pages '''191-213'''.

Unspent discretionary points may be banked as '''XP'''.
