You subtract a dice throw from the corresponding characteristics (a high characteristic and a low dice throw are good). You then add the difficulty modifier (easy -5, normal 0, difficult +5), and the qualitative result is given by:

1. Total Failure: < -10
2. Bad: -10 … -6
3. Blah: -5 … -1
4. Not bad: 0 … 4
5. Good: 5 … 9
6. Excellent: >9

The test can have an advantage (or disadvantage), in which case you throw twice and take the best (or worst) roll.

Each character starts with base characteristics that represent the genetic biases. Through their life, the character will earn experience which will increase their characteristics. The xp cost increases with each bonus point of characteristics: 1 xp for +1, then 2 more xp for replacing +1 by +2, then 3 more xp for replacing +2 by +3, … This follows the formula:

The player will create a character that already has some experiences, which means that during character creation, some xp points will be given to the player to distribute at will.
