Creature Attributes (CA) are the basic, hardly modifiable characteristics of any given creature, unit or character. They dictate the result of most skill checks, have great influence over a variety of creature stats and limit which general skills are available to the creature.

They can range from 0 to 30, where the average adult human has a 10 in all CAs, and anything over 20 is considered supernatural. 3 Experience Points can be spent to improve any CA, though this process is not automatic or immediate. It requires realistic circumstances (for example, to improve the Strength CA, a Player Character could exercise all day and eat great quantities of protein over a week) at the GM's discretion.

When creating a new character, 80 CA points being issued to distribute at will is the standard. To make the game easier or more action-packed, 100 CA points can be used instead. Finally, to add an element of randomness, 8d20 can be rolled and each dice result assigned to the desired CA.
