Attribute Generation
AX.C.03.01 - Attribute Generation
Character creation begins with a pool of dice used to establish a character's Attributes.
Power Packages
Three power levels are available for character generation:
6D Package: Maximum starting Attribute value of 3D
- Best for gritty, low-power campaigns
- Characters are competent but mortal
9D Package: Maximum starting Attribute value of 4D
- Standard power level for most campaigns
- Characters are capable heroes
12D Package: Maximum starting Attribute value of 5D
- High-powered, cinematic campaigns
- Characters are exceptional from the start
Distribution: Distribute the dice from your chosen package across all three Attributes. No single Attribute can exceed the package maximum at character creation.
Example: Using the 9D package, a character might have Body 4D, Speed 3D, Wit 2D (total 9D).
Standard Maximum
The standard maximum Attribute value is 5D.
A single Attribute's maximum value might be increased to 6D by a Lineage choice, representing exceptional natural aptitude.
