<h2>Classes and Skills</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Whenever your character gains a level, that level will be put in one of the
|
|
fifteen Classes available in this book: either to develop an already obtained
|
|
Class or start a new one. Each Class grants a variety of Skills and abilities,
|
|
and you choose which ones you want to invest in — even if you and another hero
|
|
share some Class choices, your characters will end up being very different in
|
|
how they are built and played.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some Class Skills can be taken multiple times, becoming stronger or more
|
|
flexible whenever you do so. When the same Skill is taken multiple times, its
|
|
Skill Level — abbreviated as <strong>【SL】</strong> — will also increase. For
|
|
instance, if you take the Guardian's Fortress Skill twice (see page 197), its
|
|
【SL】 will be equal to 2.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to take a look at the various Classes and their Skills, you can
|
|
find them starting on page 176.

<h2>Attributes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A character's Attributes are an abstract representation of their training and
|
|
aptitudes in four different fields:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Dexterity (DEX)</strong> measures precision, coordination, finesse
|
|
and reflexes. You will need it to move cautiously, defend yourself from
|
|
attacks, craft objects, and fight using light weapons, bows, and firearms.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Insight (INS)</strong> represents observation, understanding, and
|
|
reasoning. It is important when investigating situations, casting spells,
|
|
and defending yourself from magic.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Might (MIG)</strong> is a measure of strength and fortitude. Most
|
|
heavy weapons rely on Might, and your ability to withstand pain and fatigue
|
|
is also tied to this Attribute in the form of Hit Points (see below).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Willpower (WLP)</strong> represents determination, charisma, and
|
|
discipline. You use your Willpower for diplomacy and persuasion, but it also
|
|
directly influences your ability to cast spells and use special Skills, in
|
|
the form of Mind Points (see below).
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each Attribute is represented by a die size, ranging from a six-sided die (d6)
|
|
up to a powerful twelve-sided die (d12). Some effects will temporarily alter
|
|
your Attribute die sizes: this is known as the current Attribute die size,
|
|
while your default size is called the base Attribute die size.
