You have 5 Attribute Points that you can assign to your 8 attributes. You may choose to give yourself a -1, -2, or even a -3 in one or more attributes to grant yourself additional Attribute Points (for each -1 penalty you take, you get 1 extra Attribute Point). However, note that you must still observe the attribute cap. | You have 5 Attribute Points that you can assign to your 8 attributes.

When you assign Attribute Points, jot them down on both Page 1 and Page 2 of your character sheet. Note that Page 2 displays all 8 attributes, but Page 1 does not display Coordination because that attribute is primarily used in combat, and combat is detailed on Page 2. | When you assign Attribute Points, jot them down on both Page 1 and Page 2 of your character sheet.

Your character has six defenses that they might use when being attacked. Five of the six defenses are linked to specific attributes, as shown on the table below. You can improve any defense by equipping armor, using a shield, or gaining special talents or other abilities.

No matter what level you are, your HP is always 10+(level) d(X)+(level) where X is a die size determined by your END. For example, a level 1 character with 0 to 2 points in END will have 10+1d4+1 HP, and a level 1 character with 3 points in END would have 10+1d6+1 HP. You can always choose to take a set HP amount instead of rolling, as shown on the table below. | No matter what level you are, your HP is always 10+(level) d(X)+(level) where X is a die size determined by your END.
