This is our set of rules. It keeps us safe and forces us into our world's physics. Without these rules, the game would fall into chaotic bickering. So they're good. We constantly revise and adapt these rules.
Character stats help us build our characters. Like a video game, you can gain experience or skill points through participation. Use these skill points to give your character new spells, techniques, and other in-game talents. Updated stats also help the officers build interesting plots and provide just the right level of challenging adversaries.
