Let's start building Andre Segovia, acoustic guitarist extraordinaire. (You don't mind, do you, Angcuru?) We can assume he'll be fairly fit, but his mind is his most important asset. He has no noticable magic powers. Thus, we can assign him the following stats: Body 2, Mind 3, Spirit 1.Going from there, the attributes (measured in fifths) determine how good he is at the various aspects of those three stats. There are nine of these attributes, measured between 0 and 1 in increments of one-fifth. We have twenty fifths to spend. That's an average of 2/5 in each attribute (totalling 18/5, with 2/5 remaining). Got that? If we assume we have 2/5 in each, we can work from there.Let's assign the extra 2/5 to Appearance and Presence, bringing them up to 3/5 each. And since this character isn't using magic right now, we can drop Power and Channeling to 0/5, freeing up 4/5 we can spend on Appearance and Presence, bringing them both to 5/5 (the maximum).From there, we can fiddle around, swapping points between attributes. Say we end up with the following:Body 2Strength 1/5 (1)Agility 3/5 (1)Appearance 5/5 (2)Mind 3Dedication 2/5 (1)Intellect 3/5 (1)Presence 5/5 (3)Spirit 1Power 0Channeling 0Fate 1/5 (0)The fifths will never change (unless Andre decided to change them with experience), but the stats might. If Andre's Spirit becomes 10, he now has a Fate of 2, for example.Finally, that d20 conversion thing... it's there for completeness' sake. If I wanted to switch my D&D campaign over to Twilight, I could do it quickly and (hopefully) accurately. This is probably egotistic of me, but would it allow me to submit Twilight for the front page news?</blockquote>
