Prime Trait Sets

Primary trait dice should be included every roll. Add one die each from Attribute, Role, and Distinction sets to form the base of every dice pool.

Attributes

Attributes are the building blocks that make up what a character is before everything else. Attributes are your character's first prime set, and one Attribute die is added to every roll

Each character is ranked in three (3) Attributes

---

| PHYSICAL | MENTAL | SOCIAL|

---

Rank each Attribute at or rank one Attribute at one at and one at

Roles

Second in the Prime Traits sets are Roles, and one Role die is added to every roll.

Characters tend to fill multiple roles in the regular course of things, but as might be expected, different characters develop more in certain roles than others.

Each character is ranked in seven (7) roles:

---

| COMMANDER | DIPLOMAT | ENGINEER | MEDIC | PILOT | SYSTEMS | TACTICAL |

---

Rank one (1) Role at one (1) at four (4) at and one (1) at

Distinctions

Distinctions are the third set of Prime Traits and thematically define aspects of each character to paint a clear picture of them as a whole. Include one Distinction die with every roll.

Each character is ranked in three (3) Distinctions:

---

| PRIME ROLE | AMBITION | QUIRK |

---

All Distinctions are ranked at

---

Prime Role

Your Prime Role Distinction should relate back to and flesh out your ranked Role.

Command might mean you are the Captain, or the First Mate, or a retired CEO, or a Gang Leader.

Tactical might mean Gunner's Mate, or Sniper, or Duelist, etc.

Ambition

Your Ambition Distinction should point to something your character hasn't achieved yet but is working towards.

Secondary Trait Sets

Secondary trait dice may be included as appropriate 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

Knacks are specific specialties under a given Role that the character is just a natural at.

Starting knacks are worth an extra to the roll it applies to but can be stepped up during chargen as outlined below (as well as via character advancement).

Each player gets to assign two free knacks at to their Character's role.

Each player gets to assign one free knack at to their Character's role.

Each player gets to assign two additional knacks at to any role rated or higher or step up an existing knack (or two) at a one-for-one exchange rate.

Knacks cannot be assigned to a character's role.

No knack can be stepped up higher than the dice value of the role it is assigned to.
