Character Creation: Difference between revisions

'''Endurance (END)''': Withstanding harsh external conditions and enduring long-term physical strain. This attribute also directly affects how many HP you get (see Hit Points).

'''Luck (LUCK):''' Having things go your way even when they shouldn’t. This attribute sways fate in your favor and grants you a special ability: You may reroll 1d20 that you rolled if you are unsatisfied with the result. You may use this ability once for every 2 points of LUCK that you have, regaining all expended uses upon Taking a Rest. If your LUCK is lower than 0, you can never crit, and you subtract your LUCK from every d20 roll that you make.

If you have 1 or more LUCK, your crits become stronger. Add your LUCK score to critical damage that you deal. Furthermore, if you have 6 or more LUCK, your crit range increases by 1 (e.g., from 20 to 19-20), and if you have 12 LUCK, your crit range increases by 1 more. Your crit range can never exceed 16-20.

'''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.

Your DEX, END, AWR, INT, and CHA will affect some of your passive stats, including five of your six defenses and Hit Points (HP). Note these on your character sheet as directed.

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. When attacked, you are hit if the attack roll equals or exceeds your relevant defense.

'''AR''' represents your physical capacity to block or avoid direct hits using armor, mastery over weapon fighting styles, and the like.

'''REF''' represents your nimbleness and ability to dodge out of the way of some attacks, like a stream of acid.

'''FORT''' demonstrates how good you are at enduring punishing environments and effects, such as the intense heat of a [[fireball]].

'''ANT''' reflects your skill at instinctively intuiting a threat before it hits you. Unlike REF, this defense would be used when you are unaware of an incoming attack, such as being ambushed or triggering a tripwire.

'''LOG''' demonstrates your skill at thinking clearly under duress and might be used when a creature attacks you with enchanting magic that might charm or frighten you.

'''WILL''' represents your determination to stay true to yourself. Depending upon the nature of the attack, enchanting magic might target your WILL instead of your LOG.

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.

When you reach an END threshold on the above chart, you are permitted to completely reroll or recalculate your HP using either of the above methods. Your HP should still equal 10+(Level)d(X)+Level.<blockquote>'''Want to double check?'''
