<p><strong>Ability Scores</strong> approximate facets of a character's physical and mental capability. All dice checks in the Crucible system are modified by at least one ability score of the character performing the test. Ability Scores are also used to calculate a number of secondary attributes for your character, such as @UUID[Compendium.crucible.rules.JournalEntry.characterMechani.JournalEntryPage.Defenses00000000]{Defenses} and @UUID[Compendium.crucible.rules.JournalEntry.characterMechani.JournalEntryPage.Resources0000000]{Resource} pools.</p><p>The ability scores used in the Crucible system are described below, following a designed symmetry that is reflected both on the character sheet as well as in the talent tree. The six ability scores are further divided into physical attributes which describe bodily capabilities and mental attributes which describe cognitive or spiritual capabilities. The three ability scores within each division are classified as power, resilience, or quickness attributes.</p><dl><dt><p>Power Attributes</p></dt><dd><p>Strength (physical) and Wisdom (mental) are power attributes which describe capability to exert force.</p></dd></dl><dl><dt><p>Resilience Attributes</p></dt><dd><p>Toughness (physical) and Presence (mental) are resilience attributes which describe capability to withstand strain.</p></dd></dl><dl><dt><p>Quickness Attributes</p></dt><dd><p>Dexterity (physical) and Intellect (mental) are quickness attributes which describe capability to act swiftly.</p></dd></dl><p>Ability scores generally range from 1 to 12. A score of 2 or 3 would be typical for the median person inhabiting the game setting. A score of 1 indicates an area of weakness compared to the median, while a score of 12 or higher is reserved for supernatural entities or peerless heroes.</p><p>Some creatures may rarely have a score of zero in a particular ability score, denoting cases where a certain ability is not relevant for a particular creature. This alters the rules for that creature in a meaningful way, as described below.</p><h2 class="divider">Strength</h2><p>Strength is a physical power attribute describing a creature's potency, brawn and might. Strength affects <strong>Fortitude</strong> defense, carrying <strong>Capacity</strong>, and the use of weaponry with the <strong>Brute</strong> trait. Each point of Strength increases base <strong>Health</strong> by 2.</p><section class="gameplay"><p>Characters with high Strength are typically capable of feats of physical prowess.

Toughness affects the <strong>Fortitude</strong> defense. Each point of Toughness increases base <strong>Health</strong> by 4.</p><section class="gameplay"><p>Characters with high Toughness can typically withstand considerable physical strain, demonstrating both grit and endurance in demanding situations.

They have no <strong>Health</strong> pool and can become neither @Condition[weakened] nor @Condition[dead]. Any amount of Health they would have possessed contributes to their <strong>Morale</strong> pool instead. The creature becomes @Condition[incapacitated] if their Morale reaches zero.</p><h2 class="divider">Dexterity</h2><p>Dexterity is a physical quickness attribute that reflects agility and precision of movement. Dexterity affects <strong>Initiative</strong> in taking action, the <strong>Dodge</strong> component of Physical Defense, <strong>Reflex</strong> defense, and the use of weaponry with the <strong>Finesse</strong> trait.</p><section class="gameplay"><p>Characters with high Dexterity typically act swiftly, favoring quickness and precision of movement over pure power.

Their <strong>Initiative</strong> is always zero and they may not perform any actions with the <strong>Reaction</strong> tag.</p><h2 class="divider">Wisdom</h2><p>Wisdom is a mental power attribute describing a creature's force of conviction, depth of knowledge, and patience. Wisdom affects <strong>Willpower</strong> defense and size of <strong>Focus</strong> pool. Each point of Wisdom increases base <strong>Morale</strong> by 2.</p><section class="gameplay"><p>Characters with high Wisdom typically act deliberately, demonstrating patience and judgment to intervene at the ideal moment where leverage is greatest. When they do act, they do so with conviction and commitment to their chosen path.</p></section><p>Creatures with zero Wisdom are non-sapient and incapable of exerting mental or spiritual influence on the world around them. They can neither obtain nor generate <strong>Heroism</strong> and they may not perform any Action which scales only using the mental ability scores of Wisdom, Presence, and Intellect.</p><h2 class="divider">Presence</h2><p>Presence is a mental resilience attribute describing a creature's force of personality, resolve, and self-belief. Presence affects <strong>Willpower</strong> defense and the size of <strong>Focus</strong> pool. Each point of Presence increases base <strong>Morale</strong> by 4.</p><section class="gameplay"><p>Characters with high Presence can inspire themselves and others to feats of great heroism, overcoming obstacles, in part, through the sheer belief that things are possible. The aura of such heroes can instill similar belief in allies or foment doubts in the minds of adversaries.</p></section><p>Creatures with zero Presence have no sense of self or meaningful cognitive form. They can neither influence the thoughts of others nor have their own behavior influenced. They have no <strong>Morale</strong> pool and can become neither @Condition[broken] nor @Condition[insane]. Any amount of Morale they would have possessed contributes to their <strong>Health</strong> pool instead.</p><h2 class="divider">Intellect</h2><p>Intellect is a mental quickness attribute that reflects speed of thought and decisiveness of action. Intellect affects <strong>Initiative</strong> in taking action, the <strong>Reflex</strong> defense, and the size of <strong>Focus</strong> pool.</p><section class="gameplay"><p>Characters with high Intellect are highly adaptable to various circumstances. They apply excellent problem solving and decision making skills to think on-the-fly and synthesize learned knowledge to guide decisive action.

<p><strong>Defenses</strong> are a set of attributes for each character which define how difficult certain actions are to take against that character. The higher a defense value, the harder it is to perform an action which targets that defense. Success on a test against a defense target requires the roll to exceed the defense value, the defender is successful on a tie.</p><p>The defense types in the Crucible system are:</p><h2 class="divider">Physical Defense</h2><p><strong>Physical Defense</strong> describes how difficult the creature is to hit with physical attacks, typically melee or ranged weapon strikes.

<p>Gestures are the physical, somatic components required to invoke a rune for Spellcraft purposes. Gestures determine the shape a spell will take as it is translated from the raw magical energies governed by a Rune into a manifestation of that power. Gestures set particular properties of a magical spell, usually the cost in Action and Focus points, range (or size), targeting type, and shape. Gestures also determine one-half of the scaling damage formula, with Rune as the other half.</p><h2 class="divider">Starting Gesture</h2><p>Any spellcaster who knows any Rune automatically has access to the Touch gesture which provides a basic capability to use that Rune.

<p>Gestures are the physical, somatic components required to invoke a rune for Spellcraft purposes. Gestures determine the shape a spell will take as it is translated from the raw magical energies governed by a Rune into a manifestation of that power. Gestures set particular properties of a magical spell, usually the cost in Action and Focus points, range (or size), targeting type, and shape. Gestures also determine one-half of the scaling damage formula, with Rune as the other half.</p><h2 class="divider">Starting Gesture</h2><p>Any spellcaster who knows any Rune automatically has access to the Touch gesture which provides a basic capability to use that Rune.
