what makes characters different
PERKS are modifiers on your CHARACTER that change them in some way.
PERK POINTS can buy PERKs off of the PERK TREE
ACTORs get 1 PERK POINT when they complete a STORY.
CHARACTER MAG is a measurement of PERK POINTS and increases with each STORY completed by 1 along with perk points.
8 at MAG 2, 9 at MAG 3, ect
PERKS have PREREQUISITES which need to be fullfilled before you can purchase the PERK.
this means you have to have “X” amount of PERK POINTS spent within the respective branch, or children of the branch.
BRANCH OF VIGOR : 5 could take 3 points from vigor, and 2 from brute
this means you have to buy “X” amount of the PERK that is named
its usually nearby the perk that references it.
this means you have to have “X” amount of the PROF that is named
usually prof 1, but some 2s and 3s. 4s maybe. 5s even.
the perk tree is really quite large, but is broken down into sections based on character archetype and what the skill represents in most characters. PERK POINTS spent on the leafs of the tree count towards the branches and root, branch points count towards the root.
5 points in the LEAF OF THE CREATOR, with no other PERKSs bought, means you also have a calculated 5 pointsin BRANCH OF PRECISION, and ROOT OF BODY
ROOT OF BODY
BRANCH OF THAUMATRY
