Building a Character to Lv1

Select Character Race (Race List)

• Note down other traits related to the race.

Select Archetype (Archetypes)

Add Attributes (Attributes)

• Add Racial and Archetype attributes together.

• You may add 1 attribute point to finish off your character’s attributes.

Assign Skill Focuses and Skill points (Skills and Skill List)

• Add Racial and Archetype Skill-focuses to your character.

(Each Skill focus adds 20 skill points to the skill and automatically unlocks Novice rank for those skills)

• Your character starts off with one extra Skill-Focus they can apply to any group.

• Your character gains an additional Skill-focus for a single skill for every point in Intelligence (INT) they possess.

• Your character gains 15 skill points they can put into any skills they like, ready for Lv1.

Assign Skill Perks and Universal Perks (Perks)

• Check Skills for what Perks are rewarded for gaining Novice rank in them.

• Your character gets to select one Universal perk at 1st level.

• Any perks granted by traits will also be applied.

Levelling up a Character

Every level

• Your character gains 15 skills points, however note you will not be able to add more skill points than skill cap for any skill depending on the character's level.

Competent (40) rank at Lv1
Adept (60) rank at Lv4
Expert (80) rank at Lv8 and,
Master (100) rank at Lv12

Every 2nd level

• Your character gets a Perk-Point which they can use to obtain a Universal Perk or a Skill Perk if they have a Skill at Master Rank.

Tier 2 Perks are only selectable when the character has a total of 10 universal perks and skill perks granted by Skill Ranks.
Tier 3 Perks are only selectable when the character has a total of 20 universal perks or skill perks, as above.

Every 4th level

• Your character gains +1 to any two different attributes of their choice.
  • You cannot select the same attribute twice, it must be +1 to two separate attributes.

At 5th level and every 10 levels beyond 5th

As a Milestone reward, the character may choose ONE reward from the list below:

• Your character gains +1 to any attribute of their choice.
• Your character gains a Perk-Point.

Every 10th level

• Your character can select and apply an additional archetype from the list of archetypes noted on their race page or Archetypes.

Check Size/Faction Restrictions

Your GM will inform you which of the race factions you are permitted to use for your character.

Factions include:

• Vermillion Freeholds (Tiny to Small),
• Cerulean Kingdom (Medium),
• Saffron Union (Large to Huge) and
• Viridian Republic (Gargantuan to Colossal).

If your GM declares that only certain size categories are permitted for characters, you can only choose races who fit within the range specified by your GM. If the GM declares only characters between Tiny and Huge, then you cannot use races from the Viridian Republic (as they are Gargantuan or larger). Inversely, if the GM declares you can only pick races from the Viridian Republic, then you are limited to gargantuan or larger character races.
