Your character's proficiency at a skill is rated as a percentage (55.0, 38.6, 98.3, etc.). The rating represents the maximum percentage of a card's total value that you will be able to use during an attack or defense turn. For example, if your character has a 73.6 rating in handheld combat, they will be able to achieve 73.6% of the total damage possible on an handheld attack card. Your character will start the game with a base rating of 25.0 in each skill.

 

Attributes

Attributes are the base statistics that define your character’s ability to perform skills.

Strength: Affects the ability to perform hand-to-hand and hand-held combat, and to counter or block enemy attacks

Dexterity: Affects the ability to perform throwing- and shooting-based attacks, and to counter or evade enemy attacks

Intelligence: Affects the ability to perform magic-based attacks and to heal

Character attributes are defined by number from 8 to 20. Your new characters will begin the game with a base rating of eight for each attribute. The sum of the three attributes will not be able to exceed 50 and only one attribute will be allowed to exceed a rating of 18.
