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.
Buying off a negative level increases it by 1 and always costs 5 \gls{xp}, so taking a character from -4 Strength to 0 would cost 20 \gls{xp}.

You can add two to the cost of any other Story and tell it at an inappropriate juncture. Your characters might be locked in a dungeon and happen upon a weapon smith in the next cell, with his confiscated weapons lying in a nearby pile outside his cell. They might find a place they can rest in secret inside the terrifying dwarvish city turned into an undead haunting ground. Or perhaps while on the run from bandits they find a helpful soldier hoping to be hired.

Your miraculous ally is a mage, or priest or some other \gls{miracleworker}. They will not enter combat with you but will agree to employ whatever magics you wish. Their Attributes will be each 0 plus the racial modifiers, except for Intelligence, which will always be +2 precisely. They will have 1 Skill at level 2 and another at level 1. Their Mana points will be 6 in total, after the Intelligence modifier. One magical sphere will be at level 4, another at 2 and another at 1. This mage walks only a single Path of magic.
