Attributes

To generate Attributes, roll 4d6 and drop the lowest result. Sum the remainder. Do this a total of 8 times to generate 8 Attribute scores, and assign them in any order. Be aware, your ancestry and culture may affect your final scores. You may want to plan ahead before settling on your final decision.   The 9 Attributes are as follows:   Strength (STR) modifier is applied to melee and thrown weapon damage, and to STR-based skill checks, as well as to Stress Hit Dice.
