 ===== Traits =====
-Characters are defined by attributes and skills,
+Characters are defined by their “Traits,”
-collectively called “Traits,” and both work in
+attributes and skills ranked by die types. A
-exactly the same way. Attributes and skills
+d6 is average, while higher die types reflect
-are ranked by die types, typically from d4
+much greater ability.
-to d12, with d6 being the average for adult
-humans. Higher is better!
-{{page>Attributes}}
+Attributes are primarily passive or innate
+abilities used for resisting effects like fear
+or supernatural attacks. Skills are used to
+actively do things or affect others.
+Exceptions occur, but these are the
+foundational differences between the
+two concepts.

-{{page>Derived Statistics}}
-Derived Statistics
-Your character sheet contains a few other
-statistics you need to fill in, described below.
-{{page>Pace }}
-Pace is how fast your character moves in
-tactical situations like combat. Standard Pace
-is 6, which means six tabletop inches per
-game round. Each inch is two yards in the
-real world. Movement is explained in detail
-on page 92.
-{{page>Parry }}
-Parry is equal to 2 plus half your character’s
-Fighting die type (a total of 2 if a character
-doesn’t have Fighting), plus any bonuses for
-shields or certain weapons. This is the Target
-Number (TN) to hit your hero in hand-to-
-hand combat.
-For Fighting skills higher than d12, such as
-d12 + 1 , add half the fixed modifier, rounded
-down. For instance, Fighting d12 + 1 grants
-a Parry of 8, while Fighting d12 + 2 results in
-a Parry of 9.
-{{page>Size}}
-Size: A hero’s default Size is 0 unless altered
-by racial abilities, Edges, or Hindrances. It
-cannot be less than −1 or more than +3.
