Character creation

• What is [character name]’s most prominent physical feature? 
• What is [character name]’s most prominent mental feature? 
• What is [character name]’s most prominent personality trait? 
• What is the most important skill or asset [character name] has gained from his/her profession? 
• What is the most important skill or asset [character name] has gained from his/her personal life? 

Questions should be answered in the format [adjective][noun] alternatively [genitive][noun], e.g. freakish strength, runner’s stamina or extensive library. Distribute 5/4/3/2/1 among the character tags. These are the tag modifiers. 

Simple test 

By burning a narratively appropriate tag a character can advance a scene. Tags are refreshed at end of session. 

Critical test (should be used when the character faces a severe danger): 

1. Roll 2d6, burn a tag modifier to +/- the result if desired 
2. Consult the outcome table OR roll an additional d6 to add to the result (this can be repeated until a Catastrophic failure is reached) 

Outcome table 

2-9 Failure – major harm 

10-11 Partial Success – minor harm 

12 Success – no harm 

13+ Catastrophic failure – the worst possible outcome (death, insanity, etc)
