Attributes are a PC’s innate abilities, rated 0-3. The 3 attributes are:

• Insight – a measure of mental acuity & knowledge
• Prowess – a measure of physical fitness & reflexes
• Resolve – a measure of force of will or personality

Attributes are used to…

Resist consequences.

Players can resist the negative consequences of a failed or a mixed action roll:

1. The GM says what attribute the PC uses to resist.
2. The player rolls that attribute’s rating (the dots in the attribute’s 1st column).
3. The PC takes 6 stress minus the highest result to reduce or avoid the consequence. </aside>

• Use Insight to resist mental consequences, like cutting an artery during surgery, navigating to the wrong place, or tripping an electronic alarm.
• Use Prowess to resist physical consequences, like taking a punch, falling from a height, or getting grabbed by a police patrol.
• Use Resolve to resist social or magical consequences, like being hexed, getting dressed down by a superior, or committing an embarrassing faux pas at a soirée.

Make fortune rolls.

• Like all stats in the game, attribute ratings can be converted to dice (1D per dot) for a fortune roll.
• Make a fortune roll with a PC’s attribute to leave something up to chance when:
  • A flat 1D roll feels too broad
  • An action rating roll feels too granular
  • The PC isn’t taking a specific action
  • The roll feels like it should be weighted based on who the PC is </aside>

In a playbook, attributes are the dots in the leftmost column under each attribute. This means attributes aren’t assigned on their own. Instead, each attribute rating comes from the actions under it.
