All rewards and mechanics are the same. This is only a vocabulary change.For the new parameter, all players will need to choose a primary field of focus for their characters from the three core abilities of body, essence, and mind. Abilities and skills within the primary field will be developed on a point for point basis, while the other two fields will be developed on a two for one basis. This is to purposefully generate greater diversity and divergence in characters so that all are not jacks of all trades.For example, a character with Body as its primary field can increase a Strength of 5 or Combat of 5 to 6 by the application of 5 developmental points. That same character would increase Confluence or Collegiate or Will or Commercial of 5 to 6 by the application of 10 developmental points.[/ooc]</blockquote>
