Creating a character involves raising skill levels and acquiring talents and traits in three or more steps; early life and two or more careers.
Early Life
All mundane skills start at skill level 1 (untrained). You may raise 10 over mundane skills one level to skill level 2 (trained).
Careers
Select five primary skills and five secondary skills for this career. For each primary skill you roll skill dice twice and for each secondary skill you roll a single skill die. You may also acquire two talents or traits you fulfil the requirements for. You may do this in any order so you may raise a required skill and then acquire a trait and vice versa.
| Career | Skill Improvements | Traits or Talents | Maximum Skill Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Life | 10 skills at level 2 | 0 | 2 |
| Career 1 | 5 primary, 5 secondary | 2 | 4 |
| Career 2+ | 5 primary, 5 secondary | 2 | 5 |
