Attributes

The 9-13 range is suitable for most
characters. “Adventuring” templates
should have one or two above-average
scores, but those for most normal jobs
should leave everything at 10.
Remember that an 11 or 12 is note-
worthy, and that a 13 or 14 is excep-
tional – see How to Select Basic
Attributes (p. 14). Dramatic templates
are a special case, as it often serves the
purposes of drama for an archetype to
have extreme attributes. Still, try to
avoid excessive stereotyping.
Example: We see our knight as a
capable warrior, so we give him supe-
rior physical attributes: ST 12 [20],
DX 12 [40], and HT 12 [20]. To reflect
his wisdom and resolve, we give him
IQ 11 [20] – he is supposed to be a
wise leader, not a genius. This comes
to 100 points.
