Stat

Your stats represent the fabric of your character. Some adventurers can take on the world with overwhelming strength, while others will use their wit to outsmart even the toughest opponents, and others still will beguile even the most garish of rogues with their unending charm.

While you can model your character after yourself, you can also model it after your favorite character in fiction. Will you have the strength of Thor or the cunning of Loki? This is where you really start to craft the aspects of who your character is.

The five stats
There are five main stats in Feast of Legends:


 * Strength: The strength stat will encompass your character’s physical and mental strength. You will roll a die against your strength stat for things like physical strikes in a fight, carrying or moving an item, and whether your character’s mental state is affected by emotion or other external variables (heat, poi- soning, confusion).


 * Intelligence: The intelligence stat directly affects how your character’s smarts will change a situation. A low intelligence will likely make it more difficult for your character to solve puzzles. A high intelligence will make your character a fast learner, helping them guide your team to victory.


 * Charm: The charm stat is your personality. Are you welcoming, or do people find you a bit repulsive? The die will always decide, but a good charm stat will be key to your best interactions with the characters in your world.


 * Arcana: The arcana stat is your connection to the magical realms within the world. If you are a magic user, a good arcana stat is a must. Recognizing the magical abilities of other characters or items is also tied to your arcana stat.


 * Grace: The grace stat is tied to the acrobatic movements of your character — or the lack thereof. Those with a higher grace stat will be better with certain weapons and will have an advantage while jumping, running or dodging attacks.

Stat rolls
Each stat will be given a ranking between 1 and 16. To determine the number for your stats, roll four d4s. We call this roll the 4 for $4. Nailed it. Add up the total of your rolls, and that number will be one of your stats. Depending on what numbers you roll, you may additionally qualify for a bonus.

You will do this five times to determine the ranking of your five character stats. Make sure you roll all five numbers before choosing which stat to apply them to. The Order you choose for your character will help determine which stat you should apply your best numbers to. If you are a magic user, your highest roll should be applied to your arcana stat, but you might not need as high of a strength stat. The exact opposite would apply to a warrior or physical fighter.
