So. I have a question.
How do you make a character?
For posteriority:


-Name, Class, Race
-Distribute three points between attributes, skills and subskills (as long as they aren't prohibited to your class). Attributes cost 3 points, and you can lower them for 2 points for every increment. Skill groups cost 2 points, subskills 1.
-Apply racial traits (Glyph should tell you those)
-Generate Your character's Fate, Flaw, and Flavour. This shoud be done with Glyph as well.

Attributes start at fair, skills at mediocre, and -- skills start at terrible if you put a point in them. The levels are, in order of competence:

-Terrible
-Poor
-Mediocre
-Fair
-Good
-Great
-Superb

You can go above or below those, but that's for exceptionaly good or bad characters.

technically all non-dash and non-double-dash skills start as poor and are usable by everyone, and then your class bumps all skills within it up a level.

Single dash (specialist skills) are bumped up to terrible from your class level, as normal untrained characters can't use them.

Upgrading a skill group upgrades all subskills in that group. You can NOT stack multiple group or subskill specializations on the same group or subskill, but you can combine one group and one subskill specialization, to give you an effective subskill level of Poor+Classmod+2, or Fair+Class Level.

Double dash skills need to be purchased individually. The skill group can't be higher than your class level, and the subskill can't be higher than the skill group level. It's special. You CAN pour multiple points into each of these, assuming conditions are met.

Also, you can sell an attribute level for two additional points.

I was told we would get only 2 points per attribute.

Of course we can only get two. Why would anyone ever think otherwise?

I'd like to note that the other side of the ocean's surface lacks seasons.
