this special something is what the attack attribute represents.  Admittedly it's more of a dramatic device than an accurate calculation of abilities, but that's why we play these games.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Defense:</B></I></div> <div>       This is the exact opposite of Attack.  This is your ability to stop an attack from hurting you.  It covers your basic dodges, parries, and blocks.  While it may be very disparate from your attack, that can be totally reasonable.  Maybe you’re the aggressive fighter who cares more about wounding than personal protection.  Or you could be the wily little guy who doesn't hit much but can dodge anything.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Health:</B></I></div> <div>       Health is your ability to survive.  It is both the amount of damage you can take and the effective constitution you possess.  Every time you take damage it temporarily reduces your hit points.  If they hit zero the character dies.  I suggest avoiding that as much as possible. </div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Strength:</B></I></div> <div>       Strength covers your character's raw physical prowess.  It is used whenever he needs to lift or move something.  Whenever you want to deal with the physical limits of your character, you will generally use his strength attribute.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Dexterity:</B></I></div> <div>       This is the measure of agility your character possesses.  This attribute will determine if you character is an Olympic ballroom dancer or the klutz who can't walk straight.  If he needs to jump over a chasm or scale a wall you would normally use the dexterity attribute. </div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Senses:</B></I></div> <div>       Your character's senses indicate how well he notices the world around him.  The more alert he is the quicker he can react to a given situation.  His senses can mean the difference between life and death.  Whenever the Game Master (GM) decides to test your character's ability to notice something, this is the attribute he will use. </div> <div>       **OPTIONAL RULE**: If your game master allows, you may increase any one of your senses at the cost of another.  Note that if you choose to do this the amount of increase and decrease must be equal.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Intelligence:</B></I></div> <div>       Intelligence is your character's book learning and abstract thinking processes.  This attribute rates how much you basically know and understand.  Having a low intelligence will not mean that your character is mentally handicapped.  He may only be ignorant.  Having a great intelligence also doesn't mean that you’re a genius, you may have simply learned a lot.  A player ultimately decides the character's raw potential, either through their actions or choice of character personality.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Intuition:</B></I></div> <div>       The intuition attribute is the gut feeling we all possess.  When you want to get a feel for what your character may be thinking when you as a player is unclear about something, feel free to ask your GM to role against this attribute.  Occasionally the GM may take pity on the pc's and roll this attribute just to see if they understand the level of danger their in. Intuition also governs your chance of being surprised.  This may be the most subjective attribute listed.  As always use your best judgment when checking against it.</div> <div> _________________________________________________________________________</div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Step 2: Environment</B></I></div> <div>  </div> <div>       Where did your character grow up?  Was he born in the capital cities or provincial towns?  Did he live among the field magi toiling the crops and herding the animals?  The place your character called home in his youth has a great affect on how he turned out.  Each environment offers differing experiences and opportunities.  At this point you must decide if you want to be from the "Rural" or "Urban" settings.</div> <div>         If your character grew up in the "Rural" setting of the farmlands or forests that border the Wilds he receives an additional d10 roll to add on to his Health attribute.  This reflects the harder life and greater challenges for surviving to the age of majority.  If your character grew up in the "Urban" setting made up of the cities and towns across the land then he receives an additional d10 roll to add on to his Intelligence attribute.  This isn't to say that people are smarter in the city.  Only that they get a better education. </div> <div>             After rolling up your character's attribute bonus, you may choose one skill listed in the summary chart.  These skills represent some of the opportunities that were available to him while growing up.  Choose the skill that best suits the image you have for you character so far, not what you think will help within the game mechanics.</div> <div>  </div> <div>                         <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Goudy Old Style" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#00CCFF" FACE="Goudy Old Style" ><B>Summary of Advantages of Rural and Urban Settings</B></FONT></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>Rural:</B></I></div> <bR> <div> +1R to Health</div> <div>             </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Skills (choose one)</B>:</div> <div> <I>Animal Handling</I></div> <div> <I>Direction Sense</I></div> <div> <I>Farming</I></div> <div> <I>Fishing</I></div> <div> <I>Survival (One Type)</I></div> <div> <I>Weather Sense (Practical Only)</I></div> <div> <I>___________________________________</I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Urban:</B></I></div> <bR> <div> +1R to Intelligence</div> <div>                                                  </div> <div> <B>Skills (choose one):</B></div> <div> <I>Drive Coach</I></div> <div> <I>Etiquette</I></div> <div> <I>Gaming</I></div> <div> <I>Haggling</I></div> <div> <I>Politics</I></div> <div> <I>Read/Write</I></div> <div> <I>___________________________________</I></div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Step 3: Choose Your Mystery</B></I></div> <div>  </div> <div>       Listed here are the seven basic mysteries available to beginning characters and players (There may be more mysteries to choose from later).  For a more complete description of each mystery, look over them in the Cantuses.  </div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>Mystery of Fire </B>(special creation rules, look at the introduction)</div> <div> <B>Mystery of Earth</B>: Shapers and Conjurers of the world.</div> <div> <B>Mystery of Water</B>: Healers and Druids</div> <div> <B>Mystery of Air</B>: Weather Shapers and Masters of Transportation</div> <div> <B>Mystery of Life</B> (special creation rules, look at the introduction)</div> <div> <B>M</B><B>ystery of Shadow</B>: Illusionists (artists and storytellers)</div> <div> <B>Mystery of Death</B>: Technologists, this mystery is forbidden in most lands (be careful).</div> <div>  </div> <div> The Mysteries of Time and Spirit are thought to be dead.  So they are unavailable for play in the modern setting.</div> <div>  </div> <div>             Each mystery increases one of your attributes and gives you several more skills to choose.  Pick what you've learned over your training carefully it may or may not save your life someday.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <I><B>Step 4: Personality/Upbringing</B></I></div> <div>  </div> <div>             At this point you know where your character was raised and what mystery he was trained in.  Now we must decide what he tried to grow up to be.  Sure he was a pron-alban born to the fields, but what is he now?  The most common answer is field magi.  Sure it can be yours too, after all that's what Mosiah was and look how he turned out.  But maybe the local lord noticed that the whelp had a flair for sculpting and sponsored him as an artist or craftsman.  Maybe you were a kan-hanar from the mystery of air that really hated the need to depend on the duuk-tsarith to solve their problems.  So instead of studying trade routes and market shares you spent all your time and energies into trying to become a champion of the people (commonly called defender for short).  There are several options available to you,</div> <div> so choose something that you feel best depicts the character you want to give birth to, not what sounds right for game mechanic purposes. </div> <div>       ***Please note that each upbringing modifies two attributes by increasing one and decreasing the other.  Only roll one die and modify both attributes by the same amount.</div> <div> You will also be choosing two skills from the list provided with each description.***</div> <div>             <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BFBF" FACE="Goudy Old Style" >_______________________________________________________________________</FONT></div> <div>  </div> <div>                                             <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Goudy Old Style" ><I><B>Artisan</B></I></FONT></div> <bR> <div>                            Roll 1D: Add it to Senses</div> <div>                                           Subtract it from Attack</div> <div>                             </div> <div>                           <B> Skills (choose two):</B></div> <div>                            <I>Etiquette                 History                 Sculpting</I></div> <div> <I>                           Haggling                  Painting              Weaving</I></div> <div> <I>                           Hearth Lore            Politics                 Writing</I></div> <bR> <div>             These are the painters and artists that exist all across the lands.  They are found peddling their talents in theparks, groves, and street corners all across Thimhallan.  Those with great talent (or at least good luck and politics) canoften be found working for a noble house, or even royalty.  These gifted individuals also ply their trade at schools and universities in all the lands.  The Mystery of Shadow favors the artisan, though they are not the only ones to take up the profession (but they do run the guilds).</div> <div> _________________________________________________________________________</div> <div>  </div> <div>                                            <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Goudy Old Style" ><I><B> Athlete</B></I></FONT></div> <bR> <div>                            Roll 1D: Add it to Strength or Dexterity</div> <div>                            Subtract it from Intuition</div> <div>                             </div> <div>                            <B>Skills (choose two):</B></div> <div>                            <I>Acrobatics             Heraldry           Swimming</I></div> <div> <I>                           Climbing               Jumping           Throwing</I></div> <div> <I>                           Endurance            Running           Xantar Combat</I></div> <bR> <div>             Athletes are the physical heroes that represent the finest the people of the land have to offer.  They are a newer addition to the world, plying their abilities at competitions and sponsored events.  A good athlete will live a comfortable life in one of the nicer cities travels the corridors to reach the events.  A poor athlete may end up living the life of meager field magi if they aren't careful.  Besides it beats starving to death.

ones who, along with the kan-hanar merchants tell the news and stories of the lands.  Their tradition is still going strong in the countryside, in the cities it has fallen on harder times.  The various entertainers' guilds are trying to edge out the bard.  This has led to several confrontations in recent times.  Kan-Hanar and illusionists are the most common mysteries for the bard, and technologist bards are unheard of.  Rumors say that more than a few sif-hanar have taken to this life to escape criticism of others.</div> <div>             One last note about this enigmatic group;

by guilds, but roguish independents do exist.  Many of the great explorers in Thimhallan's history have been these independents, mainly because they couldn't safely stay in one place.</div> <div>

quick wealth and easy pickings mark the watchwords of this caste.  As such the rogue often finds himself in interesting situations.  Fun as they may be many end up dead.</div> <div>

occur, and rediscover the knowledge lost during the iron wars.  These men possess knowledge that kings and princes fear, and the duuk-tsarith are weary of. </div> <div>       Teaching the truth isn't always popular, and a wrong lesson can land one of these learned men on the streets.  They also search for items long since lost to the rest of society.  This can lead to dangerous and intriguing perils.  Stuff often worthy of legend, if only they survived.</div> <div> _________________________________________________________________________</div> <bR> <div>

small towns that make up the border between the civilized cities and the wilds encompassing the rest of the world.  They spent their time wandering in the woodlands and finding the dangers that make the wilds just that.  Little time spent in schools has hurt them in some ways but their preparedness and reflexes help them in so many other ways.  The hobbies of these wild individuals make them a little out of place in most of society, so they eventually take to wandering the world, looking for adventures, or at least a place where they can belong.</div> <div>  <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BFBF"

regardless of how they came to wander these are the kids alone in the world.  The duuk-tsarith would gladly catch the "lost" children and put them where they belong.  Always running from something, most of these kids just want a warm meal and a place to sleep for the night.  Children don't have the same appreciation for danger adults do, and can often end up in the most unusual situations, be careful.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
