Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 3594896" data-attributes="member: 18280">Step Two:  AttributesYou get 8 points to place in Attributes.  Each point gives you a bonus, so that if you spend 2 points in Strength, you have Strength +2.  You can lower any Attribute by up to 4 to gain an additional 4 points to spend on other Attributes.  The lowered Attribute is listed as a negative, such as Endurance –4.  You cannot raise any Attribute higher than +4 during this step.Strength (abbreviated STR):  Strength measures muscle and physical power.  Noncorporeal creatures do not have a Strength score.  If your Strength score falls to –10 or lower, your muscles are no longer strong enough to carry on bodily functions, and you die.Endurance (abbreviated END):  Endurance measures resiliency to physical damage as well as resistance to adverse environments (such as extreme cold or heat), poison, and disease.  Noncorporeal creatures do not have an Endurance score.  If your Endurance score falls to –10 or lower, you die.Dexterity (abbreviated DEX):  Dexterity measures hand-eye coordination and the ability to aim ranged weapons.  If your Dexterity score falls to –10 or more, you are not able to use any Dexterity-based skill until your Dexterity rises to at least –9.Agility (abbreviated AGL):  Agility measures reflexes, balance, and the ability to control body motions.  If your Agility score falls to –10 or more, you are unable to move until your Agility rises to at least –9.Perception (abbreviated PCN):  Perception measures acuity of the senses.  If your Perception falls to –10 or more, you are unable to physically sense anything until your Perception rises to at least –9.Knowledge (abbreviated KNO):  Knowledge represents the ability to understand and retain skills requiring memory, inference, and reason.  Creatures (such as vermin, constructs, and some plants) that lack the ability to think usually lack a Knowledge score; this does not necessarily prevent them from using Knowledge-based skills.  If your Knowledge falls to –10 or lower, you are unable to take any action requiring thought until your Knowledge rises to at least –9.Psychic Potential (abbreviated PSI):  Psychic Potential measures the ability to gain and use psychic powers.  Constructs do not usually have a Psychic Potential score.  If your Psychic Potential score is –1 or lower, you cannot gain any new, or use existing, psychic powers, until your Psychic Potential rises to 0 or higher.  If your Psychic Potential falls to –10 or lower, you are dead.Personality (abbreviated PRS):  Personality measures persuasiveness, personal magnetism, and ability to lead, as well as the strength of one’s own sense of self.  Creatures (such as vermin, constructs, and some plants) that lack self-knowledge usually lack a Personality score.  If your Personality falls to –10 or lower, you become an automaton (generally under the control of the being or power that lowered your Personality) until your Personality rises to at least –9.</blockquote>
