For any non Touched character, choose seven racial skills from the list. Remember to credit or debit any skills that might be affected by a racial attribute score.

Primary attributes: Strength, Robustness, Size
*Resistance is a derived attribute computed from the average of Robust and Stamina.
Skills: see character sheet.

Thus, an 8 Strength character could lift 80 lbs, a 12 Strength character 144lbs, an 18 Strength character 252 lbs and a 24 Strength character 432lbs. This represents extended lifting or carrying. Short term exertions may exceed this figures by up to 50%. Ideal or inhospitable conditions may increase or decrease lifting amounts above or below the stated ranges.

Adds to hit and damage for hand held attacks.

Robust: Physical ability to take punishment. It gives bonuses to hit points. Also determines blood loss.

*Resist: Resistance to disease and poisons. Derived from the average of Robust and Stamina.

Stamina: Equivalent of D&D Fitness. Adds to evasion points with Agility and Speed.

Agility: Ability to dodge and duck. Adds to AC, climbing.

Speed: How fast you run, climb, swim. Run is 9 feet/melee/point.

MD: Hand-eye coordination. Slight of hand, thieving type skills, juggling, hand thrown objects (Slings, Atlatl, bolo, throwing knifes, throwing spears, shuriken.). Adds to hand to hand combat, like D&D.

Size: How tall a character is. Use Dwarf D&D tables for Miners, a special table for Bulls, elf table for Terriers. Adds to damage, due to larger weapons, and adds to resistance to ingested or blade venom. Small size for Miners does not subtract from any ability except initiative. Also adds to hit points. Improves or diminishes Run and Jump.

Character submits 3 ideas for Touch. DM approval of one. With parameters.

Examples: fire, water, air, vapor, plant, earth, wood, sight, hearing, smelling, mechanical, smooth/charm, light, energy, feeling, substance, animal, form, healing, nudge, harmony, sound, pain/pleasure (stimulate centers or affect peripheral neuron reception–deaden pain, too.), influence animal.

A basic rule of thumb is that a physical Touch cannot exert more total force than a person could typically exercise with their physical musculature. This is a useful framework for kinetic touches (meaning that someone with a telekinetic ability could probably lift themselves but only move about as fast as that person could walk carrying a similar load). Touches such as fire or earth are less readily circumscribed this way, but the general principle of magnitude applies to these touch effects.

NOTE: A Touch can cause critical damage. The likelihood of this potentiality is the Touched present Wellspring as a percent of 100.

Run: This ability is computed by adding Speed to a height modifier.

Base Hit Points: 5. Don’t increase unless attributes increase.
Base Evasion Points: 1d6. Does not increase unless attributes increase. Contributing attribute benefits are additive, not averaged.
Level advancement: everyone requires Magic User experience points to advance in level.

    Odd levels:  1 attribute point.
    Even levels: 2 attribute points.

Bulls & Miners attack on Fighter Table.

Terriers attack on Thief Table.

Touched attack on Mage Table.
