The Proficiency System is a comprehensive system that regulates Character Stats and Skills in a fair and balanced manner. The system takes a lot of inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons, but may also be familiar to those who have played the Elder Scrolls Oblivion, or any such Games. The system should be fairly simple and straightforward, but if you are experiencing any issues, or would like it explained in a more personal manner, please ask for help on our Roleplay Community Discord. Fellow Players and Staff are always willing to help out. The Proficiency has two steps, Point Allocation, and Point Buying. Most beginning players only need to go through the first step, which would give a Character a basic Stat allocation of Proficiencies. This is often good enough for Roleplay, because it provides a basic structure on how to measure your Character to other Characters on the server. If however you want to deepen your experience and immersion, you can try the second step of Point Buying, where you spend the points assigned in the first step to buy Packs of Abilities that do things in Roleplay. In summary: The Proficiency System allows players to spend a pool of points on Stats, and when done, use those Stats to buy Abilities and Specials.

Point Allocation

Proficiencies

There is a total of six proficiencies, each which have their own function in the context of Roleplay:

• Strength dictates how strong your Character is, or how much combat experience your Character has.
• Constitution dictates how healthy your Character is, their fitness and physical endurance and the like.
• Wisdom dictates how much knowledge your Character has about the world, and particular occupations.
• Dexterity dictates your Character's agility and how dexterous they are with their hands and feet.
• Magic dictates your Character's Arcane Knowledge and application, essentially a gateway to Magic.
• Creativity dictates your Character's creative exploration and hobby and cultural development.
• Charisma dictates your Character's expressions and general presence among equals.

Allocation Rules

There are two short allocation rules that dictate how many points you can spend, and when to max out:

• Every Character regardless of age or Race has exactly 14 points to spend between the above Proficiencies.
• Every Proficiency can only have up to 7 points invested in any of them. But you can spend in as many as you like.

Points on Character App

Create a Character App to finalize your selection. Below is an example of how to write your Point spread:

Proficiency Points
Strength: 6
Constitution: 0
Wisdom: 5
Dexterity: 1
Magic: 0
Creativity: 2
Charisma: 0

That's all! You can start Roleplaying now. If you want to expand your immersion and experience however, you can try out Point Buying, but you can also decide on this later, there is no rush!

Point Buying

To know where you can spend your points, you simply have to look at your own spread. Did you assign 6 Points to Strength? That means you can buy 6 Packs that are in the Strength category. Did you assign 0 points in Constitution? Then you can buy none of the Constitution Packs. 2 Points in the Magic category yield two Magic Packs and so forth. Below you can find links to each of the Point buy Categories. It is recommended you browse these pages a bit or ask other players what they think are good investments that provide a lot of fun in Roleplay. Obviously some packs are more useful, while others remain rather niche, but they are overall all designed to have at least some use in Roleplay.
