The game uses four basic attributes for characters.
Psyche: your mental ability and will power.
Presence: your ability to influence others (used for PC to NPC interactions).
Prowess: your skill with weapons.
Physicality: your raw physical ability (strength, endurance, etc).
Each attribute is rated numerically from 1 on up.
| Rating | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Inept |
| 15 | Professional |
| 16 | Expert |
| 25 | World Expert |
| 26+ | Superhuman |
Values between these threshold values are measured proportional to the range. So 2 is slightly better than 1, but still very bad. 13 is not quite professional, but better than most.
Ratings of 26+ are, in general, not available to PCs as they represent superhuman levels.
For those familiar with the core Lords of Gossamer and Shadow rules, a rating of 0 to 15 reflects Average levels, while 16 to 25 represents Superior levels. 26 represents Paragon level, while anything beyond 26 is ranked.
Resolving Actions
Resolving actions typically depends on having a high enough rating in an appropriate attribute. Opposed actions look at the ratings of each character and any situational modifiers to determine who wins.
