Initial Assignment and Growth[]

All Attributes start at base 5. A newly created character has five Attribute points to spend. Each even level grants an additional Attribute point, ending up with 15 spendable Attribute Points. Attributes cannot exceed 15 unless it is boosted by equipment.

Abilities[]

Abilities are divided into 6 branches that offer different bonuses. While some abilities offer gains only up to level 5, some benefit from 6 or more points.

  • Leveling up an ability costs ability points equal to the new level.
    • For example, leveling Leadership from 2 to 3 costs 3 points. The cost of leveling an ability is not affected by bonuses gained from Gear or Traits giving significant reduction in the cost of maxing out abilities.
      • Gear and Traits add to your total level for the ability's effects, but do not count towards requirements for talents (such as Comeback Kid requiring Willpower at level 5).
