'''Coordination (COR):''' Your overall ability, both physically and mentally, to process information and act upon it. This is neither DEX (physical) nor AWR (mental), but a separate mechanism by which the game tracks your capacity to act. For every 2 points of COR that you have, you gain 1 additional AP at the beginning of your turn. If you have -1 or -2 COR, you lose 1 AP at the beginning of your turn. If you have -3 COR, you lose 2 AP at the beginning of your turn. | '''Coordination''' (COR)''':''' Your overall ability, both physically and mentally, to process information and act upon it.

=== | === LINEAGE & PROFESSION === | ||
Your lineage and your profession both progress slowly, reflecting your life experience and career outside of adventuring. At levels 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 29, you gain one additional lineage feature. Your profession ranks up slowly and does not do so at a set rate. Your MC will award you additional levels in your profession when they feel that it is appropriate for the story, often as a notable quest reward. On average, you can expect to gain an additional profession rank once every six Character Levels. | |||
