Characters

Creating Characters - Lists the steps necessary to create a Fudgescape character and describes character attributes.

Races - Information on the various races a character may be in the Fudgescape universe.

Skills - Learned abillities of a character grouped into catagories for use with the Five Point Fudge system. Note that skills are linked to attributes, see Creating Characters.

Abilities - Much like Gifts but not race specific.

Backgrounds - Packages of skills, gifts and flaws that are not race specific. Only one background should be bought per character, they're a bit like jobs, occupations or classes (in class based systems). This is the only way to receive points other than race-specific flaws.

Gifts - Race specific abilities that allow character to perform non-normal feats.

Flaws - Race specific vulnerabilities and general flaws.

Characters start with two Flaws and may start with up to two Gifts or Abilities. Additional Gifts and Abilities can be bought with additional Flaws.

1 Flaw = 1 Gift = 1 Ability

All other exchanges and costs are as per the Five Point Fudge system.
