'''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.
