For
characteristics, each starts at 0. You increase them by spendings characteristic points, of which you start with
25 to distribute. Every 3 points will add a +1 bonus to rolls related to that characteristic.

Every character will start with one
Advantage, no matter what other choices they make. You may choose from the list below, or make your own. Naturally, your own advantages will be subject to approval by me. Advantages represent innate personality traits that show naturally; Usually, they correlate somewhat to one's divine lineage. Generally, Advantages either give a single +1 bonus, or grant penalties for increased bonuses or new bonuses at a 1:1 ratio. (I.e, there might be an advantage that grants a +2 bonus, with a -1 penalty to something else, or a -1 penalty with two +1 bonuses).
Giant- +1 to strength-related rolls.
Hardy- -1 damage taken.
Good Looking- +1 to seduction.
Woodsman- +1 to nature-related rolls.
Defender- +1 to defense when actively defending a target.
Skills are abilities that one can learn. Like Advantages above, you start with one. Again, you can either choose from the list below or create your own. Skills usually grant the ability to do something unique, such as cast magic.
