==Step One :: Attributes==
'''Choose which die represents which Attribute'''. Attributes are '''Physical/Mental/Social'''. 

*Either set all three at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] 
* Or set one at [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] one at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] and one at [[file:d10a.png|24px|d10]]

==Step Two :: Distinctions==
'''Choose Three Distinctions.''' The list of distinctions from the core book can be found [https://thrillin-heroics.obsidianportal.com/wikis/distinctions-list '''HERE''']. 

There are other distinctions listed in published material. 

Distinctions are rated [[file:d8a.png|18px|d8]] by default. 
----
'''You may also make up your own distinctions.''' To do this, use the following guidelines:
*Name your Distinction.
*Choose three Highlighted Skills to go with your distinction. These should make sense as to how they relate to the distinction.
*You automatically get the SFX '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes your distinction works against you.'' <u>Roll [[file:d4a.png|18px|d4]] instead of  [[file:d8a.png|18px|d8]] for 1 PP </u> 
*Craft Two more SFX to go with the distinction. These can be re-skinned from existing SFX (or ported over whole cloth), but they should do something similar to an existing SFX.
----
'''Choose Two Distinction SFX from among your three Distinctions to activate'''

Remember, you automatically start play the SFX '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes your distinction works against you.'' <u>Roll [[file:d4a.png|18px|d4]] instead of  [[file:d8a.png|18px|d8]] for 1 PP </u>  active on each distinction. Choose two more SFX that are also active at start of play.

==Step Three :: Skills==
'''First, list your Highlighted Skills.''' You will have a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 9 such skills. If a highlighted skill is listed once, it starts at [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]] If it is listed twice it starts at [[file:d8a.png|20px|d8]] And if it is listed three times it starts at [[file:d10a.png|20px|d10]]

'''All the rest of your skills start at''' [[file:d4a.png|20px|d4]]

'''You then have 9 points''' to bump up your skills. Any skill rated [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]] or higher costs one point for each die size you bump it up - to a maximum of [[file:d12a.png|20px|d12]]. 

Bumping skills from [[file:d4a.png|20px|d4]] to [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]] costs 2 points.

*Each ''Specialty'' is tied to a specific '''Skill''' and is always rated [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]]
**Specialties cost one point each.
