As in Fallout, there are no dice or random numbers involved in character creation. Instead, your character has five (out of a possible ten) points allocated to each of seven attributes. You can add five additional points to any of these attributes at your discretion, and each of the original allocations may be adjusted up or down. You may ... choose up to two traits that help differentiate your character from another character with similar attributes. Finally, you must "tag" three of your skills. Tagging a skill not only provides a bonusl, it also doubles the rate at which your tagged skill advances.
