Type 3 Character Creation

Characters start with 300 "Character Creation Points". These points can be spent however the player wishes on attributes and skills. Each time the character gains a level, they gain another 20 points to spend however.

Initially, players also choose a class for their character. These classes provide free points in an attribute and a free skill.



Attributes
These start at 0 and cannot go below that. They have no upper limit, but the more points spent in each, the more likely checks in them are to succeed. Checks are a comparison of the required attribute for a task and the character's attribute. Success if the character's attribute is higher than the requirement.

Strength (STR) - Melee attacks deal damage equal to Strength.
Motion (MOT) - Ranged attacks deal damage equal to Motion.
Constitution (CON) - How much HP a character has is equal to Constitution.
Psyche (PSY) - Magic attacks deal damage equal to Psyche. Magic healing restores HP equal to Psyche.
Fellowship (FEL) - Higher Fellowship than the one it's being used on allows discounts in stores, trust in the character, and likability. Low Fellowship results in higher prices, distrust in the character, and unlikability.



Classes
The points and skills gained from classes are non-refundable. Only one class can be selected. If two skills are listed, only one can be taken.

Knights can gain an additional 10 points in Strength. They also start out with Melee Combat OR Ranged Combat at no cost.
Thieves can gain an additional 10 points in Motion. They also start out with Stealing OR Parkour at no cost.
Barbarians can gain an additional 10 points in Constitution. They also start out with Rage at no cost.
Disciples can gain an additional 10 points in Psyche. They also start out with Combat Magic OR Support Magic at no cost.
Bards can gain an additional 10 points in Fellowship. They also start out with Musical Instrument OR Dance at no cost.
