Attributes (Elemental Powers)

Attributes are the core of your character; it's shorthand to abstract how they approach the world, as well as represent their strengths and weaknesses in a readable (if unspecific) manner. There are two components to an Attribute: the Attribute Score and the Attribute Bonus.

Each character has 3 Attributes: Vitality (VIT): a measure of one’s strength, constitution, and hardiness Alacrity (ALA): a measure of one’s precision, speed, and dexterity Personality (PER): a measure of one’s intellect, mind, and aura

- In general, whenever the text of an ability or otherwise uses the shorthand for an Attribute (VIT/ALA/PER), it refers to the Attribute Bonus, not the Score unless stated otherwise.

Attribute Score
The Attribute Score is the raw number that is associated with the Attribute. The Score is used to calculate the Attribute Bonus and can be burned in place of supply (in times of need).

Attribute Bonus
The Attribute Bonus is the more frequently used number associated with the Attribute. The Bonuses are used to calculate HP, Supply, and Defense, and is also added to many checks you'll make.
