For partial armour, anyone rolling a Margin of 3 (i.e. 3 points above the \gls{tn}) ignores the \gls{dr} from the armour. If the regular \gls{tn} is 8 then any roll of 11 or greater counts as a Vitals Shot. Complete armour requires a Margin of 5 to ignore the armour, so if the \gls{tn} were 10 then a Strike would require a total of 15 to bypass the armour. Perfect armour cannot be bypassed by a sufficiently high roll.

Many creatures have a \gls{dr} from natural armour, representing especially thick skin or some other immunity to Damage. Natural armour always counts as Complete armour unless otherwise specified, because it covers almost all of the body, but often leaves weak spots open such as the eyes or the kneecaps.

However, in return for this deficit, rune casters can learn their craft far more easily.

Each additional level of a Trait has a steeply progressive cost. The costs represent buying the next level; the first level of a school of magic costs 15 and the second costs 20 -- buying up to the second level costs 35 \gls{xp} in total. Knacks work similarly, where the first Knack costs only 5 \gls{xp}, but the second Knack a Player purchases costs 10, and so on, with each additional Knack costing an additional 5 \gls{xp}.

Attributes have a standard maximum of +3 and minimum of -3. This is adjusted by race, so for instance elves have a +1 bonus to Wits but -1 to Strength, so their maximum Strength score would be 2 and the minimum -4, while the maximum Wits is +4 and the minimum -2.

Now is the time to look at your character's base Attributes and think about what they might be good at. The best place to start is your highest Attribute. If you have a positive (or simply not negative) Intelligence score, making a spell caster is a good option. Buy off any Wits penalties and put a magic sphere down on the character sheet and a couple of \glsentrylongpl{mp}. Alternatively, if your highest Trait so far is a Body Attribute perhaps this character is more suited to being a fighter. Don't worry if you have negative Body Attributes -- your starting \gls{xp} can buy all of that up to 0 quite easily.

Mixed characters are easy to make -- a spell-casting, sword-swinging elf or a dwarf who prays to dark gods and sneaks well through the shadows simply requires a couple of Traits.
Think about which way the character is headed and at this point write something down in the character's `Concept' section at the top.
