Health

• You reach 0 and you die
• Can be used to keep conscious when you have no more Energy if you succeed in a Stamina test
• You regain Health by sleeping or with natural or magical healing

Energy

• When you reach 0 you can continue to be conscious only by succeeding in a Stamina test, you will then use your Health (2 for 1) to keep acting
• Every action consumes Energy, for the same effect, the use of Double-Living capacity consumes more Energy
• You regain Energy while eating and sleeping, never exceeding the Stamina capacity. Your body will prefer to rebuild your Health before your Energy.
• A full night (8h) with a full stomach allows you to regain a value equal to 5 plus your Stamina with a ratio of 2:1 in Health first and then 1:1 in Energy

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 be with advantage (or disadvantage), in wich case, you throw twice and take the best (or worst) roll.

Each character start with base characteristics which represent the genetic biases. Through their life the character will earn experience which will increase their characteristics. The xp cost increase 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 formula:

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