 ===3) Choose Qualities===
-The book tells you to do skills next, but I would to qualities first. Qualities are things like being ambidextrous, unusually lucky, addicted to a drug, allergic to something, that kind of thing. There are three types of qualities: Positive, Negative and Allergies (although allergies are basically just negative qualities, they are worked out a little different). Qualities are listed from page 77 onwards, just pick what you want, and enter it on the sheet. Allergies are a little more complicated, in that they have rareness and severity, rather than just a rank. Rareness is decided based on your surroundings (we are largely going to be inner city based). Rubbish, pollutants, plastics would all be common. Silver or jungles or some such would be rare. You can get more details at the top of page 81. On the character sheet, just put y or n for if it’s common, and Mild, Moderate or Severe for its severity, and the bonus will be worked out for you. The last thing to note about qualities is that you cannot spend more than 35BP on positives or gain more than 35BP on negatives. Again, it’s all worked out for you at the top left of the Qualities sheet.

 ===4) Choose skills===
-You can spend as many BP as you want on active skills, unlike the other two bits (until you run out, obviously). First off, though, select your free language skill. This represents your native language. Be warned, if you only know Sperethiel, and every other bugger in the team only speaks English, you won’t be able to communicate with them. Active and knowledge skills work in pretty much the same way: You have the skill name, the rank, and the optional specialization. For active skills, each rank costs 4BP to increase, and a specialization costs 2BP. For example, if you took Pistols as a skill at rank 4, with Revolvers as the specialization, it would cost a total of 18BP. Taking a specialization basically ups the skill rank by 2 when you are using that type of thing. Knowledge skills are a little different. You get free knowledge skill points based on your Intuition and Logic. These can be spent however you like. You can then buy extra knowledge skill points for 2BP each, but only up to the same amount of free points you got. So, if you had 20 free knowledge skill points, you could get an extra 20 for a total of 40BP. Each rank of a knowledge skill takes one of these knowledge skill points. You can buy specializations, just like action skills, for 1BP each. There’s some useful info about skill ranks and language skills on page 129 and 109 that’s worth looking at. All the active skills are on pages 110-127, all the knowledge skills information is on 128-129. It doesn’t really list knowledge skills, as they can be based on pretty much anything. Take a look at the kind of things the sample characters have used for inspiration in this area.
