At the time of creation a character has 40 Attribute points to distribute.

No Attribute can have less than 1 or more than 10 using these initial points

Attributes hard cap at 15.

Use your Actual Stats when calculating skills, health, magic, AP, etc.

(Optional) players can also roll for their attributes using D4+D6, or 2D4+D6 and drop the lowest die.

D4+D6 will result in more controlled attributes, with most being between 4 and 6.

2D4+D6 and dropping the lowest will result in a higher average with fewer attributes below 5.
