Character Creation

Character creation has three steps:

Step 1: Choose Base Stats
Base stats are divided into two groups: Primary Stats and Secondary Stats. Primary stats are as follows:

Primary Stats
Players have 16 points to spend on primary stats. They may spend points to gain the base stat values as noted in the "table" below.
 * Brutality
 * Finesse
 * Mysticism
 * Will
 * Notice

Stat Value---Cost Note that after character creation, excess points have no purpose.
 * 11
 * 23
 * 36
 * 410
 * 515

Secondary stats are as follows:

Secondary Stats
Players have 7 points to spend on secondary stats, using the same costs. In other words, players may choose to have a 1 in one of these stats and a 3 in the other, or a 2 in each.
 * Charisma
 * Knowledge

Step 2: Calculate Derived Stats
Using your primary stats, calculate your derived stats as follows:
 * HP = 10 + 2*(Brutality)
 * TP = 10 + Will
 * Attack Pool = 4 + [Brutality, Finesse, or Mysticism - Choose the relevant stat for your attack]
 * Defense = Finesse
 * Mana Draw = Mysticism
 * Initiative = 1 + Notice

Step 3: Select Abilities
Players begin the game with 10 Character Points. Character Points may be spent on Abilities, which can be found here. Unlike the points that players spend on Base Stats, Character Points are persistent. They function as War Torn's system of experience and may be spent after character creation at any point between sessions.
