Forgotten Realms Adventures Rules

NOTE: The QM will handle all of the math. This exists specifically for players that wish to know what every number means.

== Attributes ==
Attributes quantify basic information about a character. The four Attributes are as follows:

>Strength - Brawn, constitution, physical power, and durability. Your Health is equal to your Strength score + 10.

>Agility - Quickness, poise, and reflexes. Your Defense is equal to your Agility score, modified or replaced by armor.

>Intellect - Cunning, wit, memory, and education. Your Perception is equal to your Intellect score. Add half your Intellect to Power.

>Will - Courage, discipline, and sense of self. Your Power is equal to your Will score plus half your Intellect score, which is used for various special abilities.


== Derived Stats ==
Much like Attributes, there are four derived stats that describe more abstract ideas about a character. These are:

>Health, which represents a character's overall ability to remain alive. If a character's health is reduced to zero, they are not necessarily (but usually) dead.

>Defense represents how difficult it is to hit a character. Equipment, magic, circumstances, and Feats can modify Defense. Not that Defense does not apply against some spells, traps, and other such hazards.

>Perception represents how good a character's senses are. It is used for following tracks, spotting hidden creatures, and finding traps, among other things. A high Perception will also offer the opportunity to passively gather information about your environment.

>POWER is a measure of a character's reserves of magic, self-discipline, faith in the gods, or what have you. Power is used exclusively for special abilities, or to cast magic spells, and is fully replenished whenever a character can safely rest.


== Attribute Tests ==
If a choice tagged with an Attribute in [brackets] is selected by vote, a d20 will be rolled. If the result is less than or equal to the corresponding Attribute, it is a success. If the result is higher than the corresponding Attribute, it is a failure.

== Attacks ==
Attacks are a special type of Attribute test. The target number is always 10, modified by the difference between the Attribute used by the attacker subtracted by the Defender's defense. For example, if a character with a an Agility score of 16 attacks someone with a Defense of 20, 16 - 20 = -4. 10+(-4) = 6, so they will hit on a roll of 6 or lower.

== Boons & Banes ==
Magic, feats, and circumstances can provide an ongoing bonus (Boon) or penalty (Bane) to certain rolls. Boons and Banes are +3/-3 modifiers to rolls, and can stack or cancel each other out.
