===== Attributes =====
Attributes don’t directly affect skill rolls.
Savage Worlds treats learned knowledge
and training as the most relevant and direct
factors. A high attribute allows one to increase
a skill faster and opens up options to Edges
that greatly differentiate two characters with
the same skill.

Every character starts with a d4 in each of
five attributes:

{{page>Agility}}
{{page>Smarts}}
{{page>Spirit}}
{{page>Strength}}
{{page>Vigor}}

==== Using Attributes ====
Attributes are used to:
  * Determine how fast skills increase during Advancement (page 54).
  * Limit access to Edges (page 37).
  * Derive secondary statistics such as Toughness or melee damage.
  * Resist effects such as being grappled or counter spells, powers, or social attacks such as Taunt or Intimidation.
