| - | + | ||
| - | One category must be selected as the character’s weakness. They will have no dice here, or, in the case of statistics, have all d4s. For instance, a character with tech as their weakness possesses no ancient technology that they know how to use. | + | |

| - | Two categories must be selected as being somewhat average. The player may assign 3 d6 to the assets in this die category. For example, a being with average attributes has 3 d4, and 3d6 ratings. | + | |

| - | ==== Strength ==== | + | |
| - | One category must be selected in which the character is somewhat better than the average being. The player may assign a d6, a d8, and a d10 to assets in this category. For example, a character with backgrounds as their strength could place a d6 in hunting, a d8 in warrior and a d10 in scout. | + | ^ ^Level^^^^ |

| - | Example: Roger decides that his character’s mutation category will have an average die strength, and selects three d6 rated mutations. He then decides he would like a couple more minor mutations, and so selects two d6 defects (he could have taken three, but settles on two). This then allows him to take two more d4 mutations. | + | Example: Roger decides that his character’s mutation category will have an average die strength, and selects three 6 rated mutations.
