Training Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a character to become more physically capable or resilient through training regimens.

Ability Aesthetics

Training Point Buy operates under "Open Aesthetics" rules. What this means is, Training Point Buy can be freely used with the following guidelines and suggestions: hand to hand combat, bodily training, etc. This list is mostly comprehensive, but we accept suggestions for additions, within reason to the setting. Alternatively, this Proficiency can be re-flavored as Magic. This Aesthetic Flavor has no effect on Ability functionality, but might alter if your Character is considered Occult or not. You decide when you use the Ability if it is Magic or not, and can choose to use it as Non-Magic, but you cannot choose in the moment if your Character is Occult or not Occult.
