Character

Information

When you start Ashes of Phoenix - you will be greeted with a login screen, where you will take your first steps into creating a character. Just simply picking the Register Button will let you create a character, where you can assign some base-line stats, before jumping into action.

Character Creation

A Player's Character is compromised of a variety of Stats, the most important ones are the Specials, Perks, Traits and Skills. Upon creating your character, you can influence some, but not all of them.

The most important decision you will have to make is what Specials to take. Those include Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. You have a total of TODO points. And no Stat can be lower then 1, or higher then 10.

The second thing you will have to worry about, is taking 2, 1 or 0 Traits. Those can influence your gameplay immensively, so special care should be taken here as well. They are, as mentioned, optional. Since each of them comes with a drawback, it might be adviseable to not use all available Trait-Slots. However, for example. Playing a Medic greatly benefits from the Drug Dealer trait.

The last thing you will adjust are your tagged Skills. From a list of TODO primary skills, TODO secondary skills and TODO support skills, you can tag 1 primary skill, as well as 2 secondary skills. Tagged Skills have the advantage of using up only half your skill-points when leveling them up, so you should tag skills you intend on using primarily.

Specials

Every character, even NPC's, have a distribution of Special Points. Each Special Point modifies a variety of stats, as well as the starting-value of Skills (Though the latter effect is very minor and usually only needed when min-maxing a character).
