death. If an Adventurer somehow loses all SIZ
he withers to a husk, or disappears entirely!
SIZ influences an Adventurer's Hit Points,
and Damage Bonus.
Intelligence (INT) This characteristic repre-
sents how well an Adventurer learns, remem-
bers, and analyzes. INT equals the number of
spells and other magic that an Adventurer can
know and have ready to use. Much depends
upon the INT characteristic.
Human Intelligence can rise indefinitely.
Reaching zero INT reduces the Adventurer to
a babbling idiotic state. The Idea roll is INTx5.
INT influences Knowledge skills.
Example: Eoghain the Sorceror has an INT of
18. This allows him to have a maximum of nine
levels of spells. Eoghain's player, Jeff, chooses
his spells and writes them down on his charac-
ter sheet: Contribute to Truth, Heal, Moonrise,
Muddle, and Witch Sight.
Power (POW) The more Power an Adventurer
has, the greater is his or her force of will, confi-
dence, and capacity for magic. (Power does not
correspond to leadership: that is earned by ro-

leplaying.) To cast magic, an Adventurer must
have POW 16 or higher. The amount of Power
equals the Adventurer's maximum Magic Points.
POWx5 is a convenient multiplier called
the Luck roll. Power can rise indefinitely. An
Adventurer without POW lacks will and be-
haves like a zombie. POW influences an Ad-
venturer's Magic Points.
Appearance (APP) Appearance shows relative
agreeableness, eloquence, gracefulness, dyna-
mism, and physical attractiveness. It calibrates
first impressions, and also indexes the eagerness
of people to associate with the Adventurer. Low
APP could indicate ugliness, or perpetual dis-
agreeableness. High APP need not mean beauty
or handsomeness so much as a memorable face
or the ability to make a good impression.
A handy multiplier, APPx5, is called the
Charisma roll. APP influences Communica-
tion skills.
Human APP cannot naturally exceed 21. An
Adventurer with zero APP points provokes
disgust everywhere.
