-Means are the important, broad resources of an Adventurer. Means, roughly defined, are each: //an agency, instrument, or method used to attain an end//. They are never specific, but broad ideas from which specific instances can be created in play. A sorcerer's means to slay her foes may be a fireball spell, but that would not be her means. That spell would be just a single instance of a much broader means, "Calling of Fire and Brimstone" for example. Regardless, the end result is that Means give more dice for you to roll for your Adventurer, making them more powerful and effective in whatever actions they support.+Means are the important, broad resources of an Adventurer. Each Means is one of: //an agency, instrument, or method used to attain an end//.

-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. "Rampant, Unchecked Greed" is a great example of a merit that doesn't fit the classic definition but works for Audeo.+Each Merit is something firmly defined (hard to change or lose) about an Adventurer that gives them power or advantage in specific situations.

 A Merit always gives the player an extra die to roll when they apply, and they can be exploited for additional dice. A Merit always gives the player an extra die to roll when they apply, and they can be exploited for additional dice.
