Attributes Revisited

Every character in Rul-Skaath has the following Attributes:

Personal (PS) -- inherent capabilities of the character's avatar

Wondrous (WN) -- the character's ability to use powers

Sovereign (SV) -- the character's ability to create and manipulate terrain and other characters


Might (MT) -- direct power and influence and resistance to the same

Domain (DM) -- range and area of effects

Prowess (PW) -- chance of success in action and ability to evade the actions of others


Level (LV) -- a general scale of power

By default, LV begins at 0 and every other Attribute begins at 5. Starting characters must then choose one non-LV Attribute to subtract 2 from, and two others to add 2 to.

In play, these attributes are usually used by adding one together one from each category, referring to them by the names from the first two categories. For instance, PS+MT+LV is referred to as Personal Might, and SV+DM+LV is referred to as Sovereign Domain. If the word 'basic' is included, this means LV is not added, so for instance Basic Personal Might is merely PS+MT.
