Abilities and Perks

A character is represented by three core abilities which range from 1 to 6. These are strength (STR), dexterity (DEX), and intelligence (INT). There is also an additional ability called charisma (CHA), which is a combination of all three.

Strength indicates physical power and constitution. Dexterity represents agility and grace in action. Intelligence represents thinking and psychic/magical power. Charisma represents a character's charm.

The values of core abilities determine a character’s perks: fortitude (FORT), reflex (REFL), will (WILL).

While ability scores are determined by dice rolls, perk scores are determined by the ability score value automatically. See Character Generation for details.
