Skill Traits
HIT POINTS, SPEED, STRENGTH AND CONSTITUTION remain constant unless influenced by external assistance or magic. Initially, characters begin with 100 hit points, which can be further modified by their chosen race and history.
Whenever the Game Master (GM) deems that a player character (PC) needs to excel in any physical aspect, the PC will be requested to roll a 1d20. Bonuses or penalties may be applied to the roll, adjusting the final number. The GM then determines whether the roll is successful or not.
To advance in the game, whenever you roll a 1 or 20, you earn a point and increment your tracker. Once you accumulate ten points, you gain a bonus to your die roll. The total score of physical traits is the total score from both race and history.
Saving throws
When you encounter situations that necessitate a specific trait, be it physical or a skill, you should consult the GM to determine the situation’s level of difficulty, ranging from ‘A walk in the park’ to ‘Walking through a minefield.’ Depending on the GM’s assessment, you will need to achieve the appropriate die number or exceed it.
| LEVEL | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Total Failure | A walk in the park | Walking on eggshells | Dancing on hot coals | Navigating a maze blindfolded | Walking through a minefield | Guaranteeing success |
| 1 | 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 |
When faced with uncertainty about which skill to utilize for a saving throw, it can be helpful to refer to the associated skills listed at the bottom of each skill description based on various occupations.
