Strength - Raw physical talent.
Dexterity - Swiftness and balance.
Aura - Endurance and stamina.
Intelligence - Understanding and using information.
Wisdom - Survival skills.
Charisma - Social skills.
*Roll a sum of 3d6 to determine your six scores and then distribute them as you'd like. This can be done at the very end if needed in order to better build your character.
*Your Ability Proficiency can be determined by taking the score, subtracting ten, and then dividing that difference in half (rounding down).
STEP TWO: SKILLS
Beyond the core abilities are skills, an assortment of talents that determine the likelihood of success in a specific situation.
Athletics (STR) - Running, jumping, climbing, etc.
Acrobatics (DEX) - Binding, balancing, and tumbling.
Sleight of Hand (DEX) - Unseen gestures.
Stealth (DEX) - Avoiding attention and remaining unnoticed.
Aura (INT) - Knowledge understanding of aura.
Dust (INT) - Knowledge and understanding of dust.
Grimm (INT) - Knowledge and understanding of Grimm.
History (INT) - Knowledge and understanding of historical events.
Medicine (INT) - Knowledge and understanding of medical practices.
Animal Handling (WIS) - Taming and working with animals.
Insight (WIS) - Seeing through deceptive intents.

Perception (WIS) - Natural awareness.
Deception (CHA) - Telling convincing lies.
Intimidation (CHA) - Manipulation through fear.
Performance (CHA) - Ability to please an audience.
Persuasion (CHA) - Convincing others through speech.
*Skill proficiency scores are determined by adding your Proficiency Bonus to each of the skill's core ability proficiency score necessary.
STEP THREE: KINGDOMS
In the world of Remnant, there are four kingdoms a student can train in, each focusing on a specific set of skills.
Atlas - Proficiency in ATHLETICS and INTIMIDATION.

STEP SIX: WEAPONS
A good Huntsman is only as useful as the weapon he/she carries. A Huntsman crafts this weapon early on in training, being an extension of its wielder. Weapons are tricky, but can be simplified into categories.
1 Form (4 P) | 2 Forms (5P) | 3 Forms (6P)
A: One-Handed (+1 DMG) | Two-Handed (+2 DMG) | Versatile (2)
B: Strength | Dexterity | Finesse (2)
C: Ammunition | Throwing
D: Light (1d4) | Medium (1d6) | Heavy (1d8)
E: Reach (+5 ft Melee) | Special
A weapon can come with up to three different forms (Resting, Melee, and Ranged). The number of forms determine how many aspects can be added to it. The more that's added, the more a character should be proficient in to be able to keep up with them. That being said, weapons can be remade or upgraded in order to better suit a character's needs. However, special services and materials may be required to do so.
*Ammunition is as listed: Revolver (12 Rounds - 1d4; 30-60 ft) | Shotgun (6 Rounds - 1d4+2; 40-60 ft) | Sniper (3 Rounds - 1d4+4; 60-120 ft)
STEP SEVEN: SEMBLANCES
A semblance is the true extension of a Huntsman, mirroring the exact nature and drive one possesses. Due to the vastness of a semblance's capabilities, these will be discussed in private to determine the limitations and advancements a semblance could potentially have. Simply put, a semblance will have three key aspects:
Core - A base of how a semblance acts. (This does not require the use of Aura.)
Evolved - More powerful forms of the core semblance. (Aura consumption increases the stronger it becomes.)
Dust Effects - This will determine how dust reacts when fused into your semblance.
*NOTE: Dust is a pool of energy that acts as a means of protection as well as a means of stamina. Aura is depleted when taking hits and after using intense semblance control.
STEP EIGHT: BACKGROUNDS
In such a large world, there are many different diversities among the masses that no one person is alike. However, we are all more connected than we realize. While some can find similarities in their differences, others can relish in the fact that someone else has an idea of what they're going through. Backgrounds are a way of sticking to your roots and bringing out the best of your characters.
Abandon - You grew up alone with no one to call family.
*You know you work best alone. Teamwork is hard for you to comprehend.
*Lone wolves are harder to catch. Advantage on Stealth checks.
Adventure - The road is all you've ever needed, meeting new faces from all over.
*If there's a call for excitement, you can't help but to answer.
*People tend to be very charismatic and welcoming towards you everywhere you go.
Crime - The world is a dark place; this is something you've learned firsthand.
*Taking advantage of others is what you do best. It's all you know.
*Your face is hard to recognize. People don't question your presence in sketchy areas.
Family - You grew up in a loving home with support and encouragement.
*Family always comes first. You can't help but feel the need to protect those close to you no matter what.
*Your heart is your greatest weapon. Advantage on Persuasion checks.
Poverty - Life has been hard, but you've made it this far with nothing but the clothes on your back.
*Money has always been an issue for you. If there's a price to be paid, you'll do just about anything.
*You know what you have to do to survive. Advantage on Performance checks.
Wealth - You've grown up with everything you've ever needed and wanted your whole life.
*You can be very materialistic and stubborn from getting everything you want.
*As a member of a wealthy family, you're used to hearing lies. Advantage on Insight checks.
OTHER: DUST
Dust is a crystal that has been dug from caves and mountains, containing elemental powers that can be both useful and devastating. It can be found in three different forms: Crystalized, Powdered, and Ammunition. Raw dust (crystalized and powdered) does a natural 3d10 damage when activated of whatever elemental damage it's composed of.
Red Dust - Fire Damage
White Dust - Force (Hard Light) Damage
Black Dust - Bludgeoning (Gravity) Damage
Cyan Dust - Cold (Ice) Damage
Yellow Dust - Lightning (Electric) Damage
Green Dust - Bludgeoning (Rock) Damage
*Dust can be very expensive depending on the location you are in. A team is given a supply of dust before every mission, divided up among the entire team.
OTHER: DETERMINING AURA
Aura is a force field that acts as protection to keep a Huntsman from death. It is also what is used to power a semblance. In any scenario, a Huntsman should always keep an eye on how much aura is available. While it can be recharged, you won't always have the luxury of time. Aura can be determined as such:
AP (Aura Points) = 1d4 multiplied by your Aura Ability Score.
HP (Health Points) = 10
*When aura is completely depleted, HP is then used. When HP reaches 0, you begin making Death saving throws.
Aura is depleted after withstanding damage. For example, if I were to roll a 2 on a 1d4, and my Aura was a 15, that would give me a total of 30 AP. This means that I have 30 points to work with in a battle. Since this has to be shared between damage and semblance, your health should come first. Dividing it up, 10 points should be set aside for semblance while 20 is set aside for taking damage. You could be a risk taker or perhaps the situation requires all of your AP to be spent on semblance, the choice is ultimately up to you.
