Athletic Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Athletic Point Buy is designed with general-use, heavily physical Abilities in mind. Athletic Point Buy provides Packs for the Character to use the general strength of their body to solve problems in the field of battle.

Ability Aesthetics

Athletic Point Buy operates under "Open Aesthetics" rules. What this means is, Athletic 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.
