Attributes are measurements of quantifiable aspects of your character.

Primary Attributes

These nine values (four Physical, four Mental, one Spiritual) are the core of a character's statistics.

Physical

Physique In addition to physical strength, this also represents the resilience of your body. A high Physique score does not necessarily equate to rippling, well-defined muscles; in addition to the 'quality over quantity' aspect of that, it's a commonly observed fact that Awakened beings tend to have strength and stamina beyond what their appearances, and even medical analysis, would suggest.

Agility Beyond its namesake, this also measures (though not precisely) one's acceleration and maximum speed. High agility allows one to outmaneuver opponents, offering a variety of offensive and defensive applications.

Reflexes

Mental

Psyche

Perception

Awareness

Spiritual

Anima is the single most difficult attribute to raise, and has fewer direct applications than most, but is also the single most influential characteristic. It represents the power of a being's soul, intangible but very rule. It is rare, but not unheard of.

  • No attribute's base value may exceed Anima+3.
  • No skill may exceed Anima+4.
  • You may not have more Aspects than your Anima.

Attribute Table

Damage Reduction Aura Will Action Points Phys Strike Phys Damage Magic Strike Magic Damage Evasion Resistance?
Brawn Yes No Yes No No
Agility No No No Yes No
Reflexes No No No No Yes
Psyche No Yes No No Yes No
Awareness No Yes No
Perception Yes No Yes No No

Raising Attributes

Primary attributes are increased by spending experience points; secondary attributes increase as the primary ones do. It becomes progressively harder to raise stats as they get higher. Beyond experience costs, you are limited by the fact that no attribute may be more than double your Spirit.
