| |
− | ===Attribute Values===
| |
− | In general attributes fall between 1 and 10, although depending on race, and other effects the attributes may go higher. An attribute value of one means that the character is virtually incappable of using those abilities, a character with a mind of one is a virtual vegetable, a character with a body of one would be virtually bed ridden, and a Soul of one would be catatonic.
| |
− |
| |
− | ===Determining Attributes===
| |
− | There are three seperate systems used here for determining attributes, the first is a random value generator which will generally give scores between 3-7 and which should be used with the full alotment of character points because the scores generated are average, the second is a point purchase system which allows for the custom creation of any attribute set desired. The third system produces values above average for normal humans (ussually) and should be used with the reduced number of character points discussed earlier.

| ===Mind=== | | ===Mind=== |
− | Mind is the representation of the overall mental acuity of an individual, it is at its most basic the ability to observe presedence and apply it to new situations to determine the most likely outcome of any paticular application of interference.
| |
− |
| |
− | Having a high Mind (Intelligence/Perception/Acumen) score however does not insure a correct evaluation of the situation. It is not uncommon for available evidence to suggest a wrong conclusion. History is full of examples when the obvious truth of the situation turned out to be neither obvious or true.
| |

| |
− |
| |
− | ====Acumen====
| |
− | A characters ability to process intellegence and perception in a short amount of time, there mental speed and or wit.
