A character’s talents represent their natural aptitude for performing tasks. Most rolls will be based on a certain talent, depending on the situation and the action being taken. Talents are determined at character creation, and can’t be changed over the course of the game. The four talents are as follows, with a description of their levels from 1 to 5.

Fitness

Fitness represents your overall physical health, strength and endurance. It’s used to derive your Health, Stamina and Deflection stats.

1 - You’re pretty weak and feeble.

2 - You’re not unhealthy, but nobody would say you’re in good shape, either.

3 - You’re reasonably strong and you don’t tire easily.

4 - You have muscles and energy to spare.

5 - Your physique is the pinnacle of health. 

Agility

Agility represents your fine motor skills, speed, and flexibility. It’s used to derive your Stamina, Deflection and Speed stats.

1 - You’re clumsy and accident-prone.

2 - You aren’t dextrous or flexible, but at least you don’t trip over your own feet.

3 - You’re good with your hands and can do some simple stunts, like cartwheels.

4 - You have deft fingers and can twist your body into a pretzel.

Sense

Sense represents your ability to glean information from the things around you. It’s used to derive your Mana and Evasion stats, as well as your starting experience. Sense also measures a character’s ability to resist social manipulation and attempts to distract or hide from them.
