Attribute Tests

The core of the game is your four Attributes these determine your capabilities and potential.

Making a Test

A simple test involves three steps:

  • 1) The player declares an action, or circumstances dictate that a test is needed reactively.
  • 2) The appropriate Attribute is selected
  • 3) Bonus and penalty dice are applied
  • 4) The GM declares the difficulty of the action.
  • 5) The roll is made
  • 6) The GM declares the result.
