Attributes

Advancement Points

Advancement points (AP) are used to advance character skills, mutation skills, and attributes. Characters earn 2 AP for every 1/10th of a level they achieve (as well as through other means) and these AP may be spent in any manner the player wishes. Each skill and mutation skill has two attributes that limit how high that particular skill can be raised and the attributes must be raised for the skill to reach the maximum available at that level. One AP will raise a skill by 1 point, 5 AP will raise an attribute by 1 point. Most characters can have 4-5 attributes and 4-5 skills or mutations at the maximum level.

Attributes

These are the basic abilities of a character. They all begin at level 11 and increase 1 point per level, in addition to points gained through APs. APs can raise attributes up to 50% higher than its base value for a given level. The attributes used in Fallen Earth are the following:
