Attributes
Your character has 6 Attributes; Brawn, Agility, Intellect, Cunning, Willpower, and Presence
Brawn
Is used for anytime you wanna show off your muscles. Most skills that use this attribute are all about being strong. This stat is also used to Determine your Wound Threshold
Agility
How fast and flexible your character is. This gets a good amount of use as anything that requires good reaction time also lands under here.
Intellect
How smart your character is. Anytime you want to use your brain, your gonna use this stat.
Cunning
Weirdly named, but its basically wisdom from any other game. Perception, stealing, survival all fall under this stat.
Willpower
Your characters ability to push on when things get tough. Used by Cleric for casting and is the stat for those who need to keep calm. Also is how you determine your Strain Threshold.
Presence
How Charismatic your character is. This stat is used for charming someone, trying to inspire your comrades and keeping cool.
Story Dice
Experience
In Genesys, the way your character grows stronger is through spending EXP on skills and talents.
At the start of the game everyone starts with 100 EXP (Or some varying amount depending on race/archetype.) During the start of the game players can spend EXP on Attributes, skills, and talents. Though once the game starts, you can no longer spend EXP to increase any attributes.
Name | Description |
Career Skills | 5 * Next Rank |
Non-Career Skill | 5 * Next Rank + 5 |
Talents | 5 * Talent's Tier |
Attributes | 10 * Next Attribute Rank |
Encounters
Encounters are split into two types Structured Encounter and Narrative Encounters. Most rules are shared between the two, with only slight differences between. The biggest difference is a Structured Encounter will have a turn order and set amount of actions a character can do during a turn, where a Narrative Encounter is more freeform.
