| - | The game uses | + | The game uses three currencies in play. Two of them have to do with turning potential into actual ability, and the other one is a kind of meta-game currency that indicates how well your adventurer is doing. |
| + | The two that turn potential into ability are called **Innate potential (Ip)** and **eXperience potential (Xp)**. They both have the same function in the game. You assign them to ability scores to give them dice ratings. For example if you had an adventurer with 3 hurry, and assigned 2 Ip to it, it counts as 2 dice. If you assigned none, it would count as 0 dice. You can assign Ip and Xp up to the limit of your potential. So with 3 Hurry you can assign a total of three Ip or Xp to it for 3 dice. | ||

| + | The meta-game currency is simply called Gold. The amount of Gold an adventurer has denotes how good they are doing in their current situation. The more Gold, the better things are looking for them. | ||

| - | Each Merit is something firmly defined (hard to change or lose) about an Adventurer that gives them power - advantage in specific situations. A Merit is generally a short phrase which describes some virtue of the Adventurer, but it does not always have to be what we think of classically as a virtue. It does however have to be something that motivates the Adventurer in their actions.
