At the beginning of each session if a character has zero Fate Points they receive one. Fate Points can only be used once per session on any roll.

Movement for characters is as follows: Walking is (7 + 1/2 Dexterity rounded down) yards per turn. Jogging is (12 + Dexterity) yards per round. Running is [20 + (3 x Dexterity)] yards per round.

There are 3 feet in a yard, so calculate your movement based in feet when you are finished with the above calculations. Your Reflex Save = Dexterity Attribute + Dodge Ability Your Fortitude Save = Stamina Attribute + Fortitude Ability Your Will Save = Self-Control + Courage Initiative is Dexterity Attribute + Wits Attribute + Alertness & Awareness Ability. Initiative goes from highest to lowest. You can use 1Willpower to get +4 to a single Initiative roll. So for example if you have 3 dots in Dexterity, 2 dots in Alertness & Awareness Ability and 1 dot in Wits you would roll 6D10 +4 Endurance and Mana Endurance and Mana are used when fighting or cast in spells. If the character runs out they are too tired to continue. Endurance used in combat is the total of your armor and weapons minimum strength to use. Endurance Points = (10 x Stamina) + (10 x Fortitude) + Will Power. Mana used in Spell casting is the total cost from spells used. Mana Points (only used after you learn a spell) = (10 x Intelligence Attribute) + (10 x Lore Arcane Ability) + Will Power. There is Alignment for this game which you may choose in the creation of your character. Step VII: Equipment All characters may start with Light Armor.
