+# Characters
+## Character Creation
+- Determine initial attributes
+	- Roll for stats
+	- Point buy
+	- Standard array
+- Determine skills
+	- Can skills be bought during character creation?
+	- Skills are granted by heritage and background
+	- Skills can be granted with qualities
+- [[03 Lineage]]
+	- Create lineage for players to choose from
+		- Guidelines exist just need to create examples
+		- Could ask Brian, Daniel, or Derek
+- [[04 Heritage]]
+	- Create heritage for players to choose from
+		- Guidelines exist just need to create examples
+		- Could ask Brian, Daniel, or Derek
+- [[05 Background]]
+	- Create backgrounds for players to choose from
+		- Guidelines exist just need to create examples
+		- Could ask Brian, Daniel, or Derek
+- [[Version 0.5/1 Characters/Qualities/00 Qualities]]
+	- Come up with qualities
+		- Some are positive
+		- Some are neutral
+			- They have positive and bad traits
+		- Some are negative
+			- They allow you to get another quality during character creation
+- [[08 Features]]
+	- Should characters start with any features?
+		- I don't think so. New characters have qualities which grant some abilities but don't have any actual features yet
+## Attributes
+- [[Resolve]] (Mental) vs [[Composure]] (Spiritual)
+- What is [[Self]] used for?
+	- In general the groups of attributes have one for health, two for checks, and one for abilities
+		- [[Reaction]] is used in combat
+		- [[Stamina]] is used for extended tasks
+		- [[Self]] should fall in this category
+- Derived attributes
+	- [[Health]] uses [[Body]] (Physical), [[Resolve]] (Mental), and [[Composure]] (Mental)
+		- Need to figure out equation to use
+	- [[Willpower]] is [[Resolve]] and [[Composure]]
+		- Implies there could be derived stats for:
+			- [[Body]] and [[Resolve]]
+			- [[Body]] and [[Composure]]
+## Skills
+- Need descriptions of skills and examples of when they would be used
+	- Most of them are self explanatory
+	- Could ask Brian, Daniel, or Derek
+## Character Progression
+- When to grant xp?
+	- Characters have goals, when they progress their goal during a session they get xp
+	- Don't want to do xp for killing monsters because that sucks
+		- Killing monsters could be part of a goal though which would grant xp
+- How much xp to grant?
+	- Depends on costs of upgrades and desired speed of progression
+	- Do some math once features are more ironed out
+- Features
+	- Need feature trees for different archetypes
+	- Need standalone features like the 5e Feats
+		- Some of these should be repeatable
+	- Need to determine cost of all features
+		- Initial values for [[Version 0.5/1 Characters/Features/Weapon Features/00 Weapon Features]] can be used as an example
+	- Weapon features
+		- How should the [[04 Extended Range]] upgrade work?
+- Attributes
+	- Determine cost of increasing an attribute
+		- Should depend on level of attribute
+- Skills
+	- Determine cost of increasing skill
+		- Should depend on level of skill
+	- Determine cost of [[03 Skill Expertise]]
+	- This includes language and knowledge skills
+- Should progression require time on top of the xp requirement?
+	- Maybe for some of them
+		- Language would take time but maybe the time it took was shown by getting enough xp
+	- Might come down to the GM for specific cases
+## Party Progression
+- Should this be based on base building type stuff or actual abilities that the party can do while together?
+- What kind of abilities would work for a party instead of an individual?
+- How do you grant xp to a party?
+## Rolling Dice
+- Simple checks are a roll against a DV
+- Opposed checks are two characters rolling against each other
+- Extended checks are checks that require a value larger than can be reached in one roll with the goal of it taking multiple cumulative attempts
+	- How to scale the difficulty of this
+		- Two axis of difficulty
+			- Target value
+			- Limited number of attempts
+		- Need to figure out how each axis affects chance of success
+- How does teamwork work?
+	- Don't like just giving advantage or a flat bonus
+	- Should scale based on the skill of the people helping
+- Trying again
+	- There should probably be some clearly defined way for characters to try things again
+		- Physical tasks don't really make sense unless something has changed that changes the DV or modifier of the roll
+		- Social tasks cold be tried multiple times if they try a different tactic
+## Wounds
+- Need to come up with tables of wounds with varying degrees of severity
+	- [[Minor Wounds]]
+	- [[Major Wounds]]
+	- [[Fatal Wounds]]
+## Actions
+- Need to make sure action cost makes sense
+- Get someone to review them to see if they make sense
+## Combat
+- Format combat rules to be more readable
+- Get someone to review
+## Social
+- Build system based on beliefs
+	- Take inspiration from Exalted
+## Exploration
+- Define character needs
+	- Food
+	- Water
+	- Sleep
+- Define travel speed
+	- On foot
+	- Mounted
+	- This should change based on terrain
+		- Maybe have terrain types
+## Equipment
+- Review weapon types
+	- Do the categories make sense for arbitrary time periods
+- Define equipment other than weapons and armor
+## Crafting
+- Crafting should be based on the following:
+	- Raw materiel
+		- What materials are needed to make the thing
+		- This should be measured by [[Bulk]] instead of money to be system agnostic 
+	- Knowledge
+		- Does the character know how the thing they're making works
+		- [[Knowledge Skills]]
+	- Skill
+		- Does the character have the skill to make the thing
+		- [[Version 1/Notes/15 Crafting/Crafting|Crafting]], [[Version 1/Notes/3 Skills/Skills/Engineering]], [[Technology]], [[Version 1/Notes/3 Skills/Skills/Science]]
+- Once a character has met the requirements it takes an amount of time that should be defined based on some trait of the item
+	- Rarity?
+	- Let the gm decide
+		- Need suggestions
+### Alchemy
+- Similar requirements to crafting
+- Based on properties of natural elements
+	- Plants and stuff
+- Could be character wants to create "effect" and gm says how much time they'll need to collect the resources if they have required knowledge and skill
+- Need to define types of effects
+	- Positive and negative
+### Materials
+- Define how material properties interact with each other
+- Define how much of a material is needed to benefit from the property
+- Define what kinds of materials and properties there are
+## Statuses, Conditions, Ailments
+- Statuses have levels of severity
+- Conditions either exist or don't
+	- You can't have levels of being prone
+- Ailments aren't used yet
+	- Are there effects that don't fall into statuses or conditions?
+- Get a full list of statuses
+- Get a full list of conditions
+## Allies and Enemies
+- Player characters are done this becomes quite a bit easier
