Each of the Adventurer's Attributes have a score which ranges from -10 to 0 to +10.

In addition to the Attribute Score, there is also an Attribute Reserve of 10 points per point of Attribute Score.

These Attribute Reserve points act as a pool to track temporary loss of Attributes through use or damage.

For example, Adventurers have a Strength Attribute, which ranges from -10 to 0 to +10.

In addition to Strength the Adventurer also has a Strength Reserve.

Strength Reserves represent capacity for lifting, pulling, or pushing.

Loss of Strength can occur through injury, illness or overuse of Strength-based activity.

Endurance Reserves represent capacity to act before reaching exhaustion as well as overall health.

Loss of Endurance Reserves can occur through fatigue extended activity without break as well as injuries during physical conflict.

Agility Reserves represent capacity to continue overall body posture or movement.

Loss of Agility Reserves can occur through injury to legs, body trunk, or back, or through fatigue through extended balance or positioning without breaks.

Dexterity Reserves represent capacity to configure fine manual dexterity work.

Loss of Dexterity Reserves can occur through injury to arms or hands or through fatigue over hours of constant use without breaks.

Speed Reserves represent capacity for short-term action at full possible speed.

Loss of Speed Reserves can occur through extended activity at full speed as well as injury.

Appearance Reserves represent capacity to maintain appearance over extended time such as high fashion or maintaining a disguise or deceptive actions.

Loss of Appearance Reserves can occur from extended period without break or maintenance such as grooming.

Intelligence Reserves represent capacity to meet short term mental demands such as memory and recall.

Loss of Intelligence Reserves can occur through learning or activity over time without breaks, impairment, substance abuse and many other factors.

Will Reserves represent capacity to maintain mental exertion over extended time and sustain increased mental exertion on demand.

Loss of Will Reserves can occur through increased demands for mental exertion, such as supernatural abilities like magic, powers, or psionics.

Awareness Reserves represent capacity to maintain focus on attention and senses without missing important information.

Loss of Awareness Reserves can occur through fatigue from extended use, impairment of the senses, distraction, or substance abuse.

Ingenuity Reserves represent capacity for creative thinking.

Loss of Ingenuity Reserves can occur through extended use over time without sufficient breaks.

Reflex Reserves represent capacity for rapid response and decision-making especially when under stress.

Loss of Reflex Reserves can occur through extended use without appropriate breaks such as long duration driving or piloting.

Charisma Reserves represent capacity to maintain positive outlook and communication with others.

Loss of Charisma Reserves can occur through negative interactions or responses especially as frustration or fatigue rises.

Each Attribute Reserve total ranges from 0 to 210.

During Adventurer creation, each Attribute Reserve is calculated with the formula ( 11 + Attribute Score ) x 10.

For example, if an Adventurer starts with a Strength of -10, then they would start with 10 total Strength Reserve points.

If an Adventurer starts with a Strength of 0, then they would start with 110 total Strength Reserve points.

If an adventure starts with a Strength of +10, then they would start with 210 total Strength Reserve points.

Adventurers can track their current Attribute Reserve for each Attribute using a simple 1-10 points total.

When the Adventurer loses too much of a Reserve, the Attribute itself can be temporarily lowered by one (1) and the Attribute Reserve raised back to 10.

When the Adventurer rests and restores a Reserve, each 10 points restored can raise the Attribute by one (1) and the Reserve set back to 1 to continue restoring.
