Character Generation

SKILLS AND CHARACTER GENERATION

General

• Skill levels range from 3 through 10. Maximum starting skill level is 7.

• Skill costs follow the Stat Bonus table, as follows:

Tag Skills

• Starting characters have 2 options:

  1. Pick 2 Tag Skills
  2. Pick 1 Tag Skills and get another 10XP for Career Skills.

Career Skills

• Base XP: 60
• Must pick 10 or more Career Skills at skill level 4 or higher.

Aging

• During character generation only, a character may exchange stat points from Ref and/or Body for more Career XP. Neither of these two stats may be lowered more than 3 steps from their initial values. This is to represent life experience through aging, trading physical stats for skills.
