This file is intended as a primer to the basic terms and concepts of the RPG system used here. The following are some basic terms you'll want to know.
LIFE POINTS: These measure the health of your character and are commonly referred to as "LP". If reduced to 5 LP, you begin to take negative modifiers due to pain. If reduced to 0 LP, you must begin to make Consciousness Tests. Once reduced to -10 LP or lower, you must make Survival Tests. See 'news life points' for more in-depth information on Life Points.
DRAMA POINTS: A way to tweak fate in your favor. Covered in more detail in 'news drama points'.
EXPERIENCE: What you spend to raise your abilities. Covered in more detail in 'news experience'.
ROLLING: Most rolls in the system utilize an Attribute + Skill roll. A d10 is then rolled, and the Attribute and Skill are added. This total is compared against the Success Level chart (see 'news success levels'). Modifiers can be applied to this roll, anything from +5 for an easy task, up through -10 for an impossible one.
FEAR TEST: What you need to roll when the chance of getting the wiggins pops up. See 'news fear test' for more.
