The Test System is how we regulate Characters' skills. It is inspired by DnD, but also by RPGs, Elder Scrolls for example. If you are having trouble understanding or want a personal explanation, please ask for help in our Roleplay Community Discord. Both Players and Staff are always willing to help out. There are two parts to the system, Proficiency and Point Buy. Proficiency, a simple way to allocate stats to your Character, is mandatory. Point Buy, a more comprehensive ability system, is optional.

Point Allocation

Proficiencies

// lol make sure this wording is ok before release xd ---------------------------------------------->

Proficiencies are useful for direct comparisons when Characters compete, and general skill checks, like Constitution to maintain a jog or Strength to hold a door closed. There are six proficiencies:

<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Strength dictates your Character's strength, or combat experience.
  • Constitution dictates your Character's health, fitness, and physical endurance.
  • Wisdom dictates your Character's knowledge about the world, or technical skills.
  • Dexterity dictates your Character's agility and general sleight of hand.
  • Magic dictates your Character's ability to use and understand Magic.
  • Charisma dictates your Character's leadership and experience with higher office.

Allocation Rules

There are two rules that dictate how many points you can spend, and when they 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.

// i think we can delete this entire section because its all on the template anyway -------------------->

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: 2
Charisma: 0

That's all! You can start Roleplaying now. If you want to expand on your Character's abilities, take a look at Point Buy. There's no rush.

Point Buying

^^^^ consider changing it to just "point buy"

Point Buy is based on a Character's stats. They can have as many Point Buy Packs from a stat as they have points in it. For example, a 6 Strength Character can buy 6 Packs from the Strength category, a 0 Constitution Character cannot buy any Packs from the Constitution category, and a 2 Magic Character can buy 2 Packs from the Magic category. Below are links to each of the Categories. All packs have uses in Roleplay, although some are more useful than others.

Skills that don't exist in Point Buy, like cooking, cleaning, and underwater basket weaving, can just be things a character knows how to do. If it doesn't have a Pack, it can be done for free.
