Characteristics

Unless otherwise specifically altered or contradicted in these house rule pages, the rules found in the 5th Edition Hero System apply at all times.

Characteristic Points Spent: No more than 75 points may be spent on characteristics by any character.

Characteristics Maxima:  The Young Kingdoms PBEM campaigns are set at "heroic level", and such all characters are assumed to take the Normal Characteristics Maxima limitation for 0 points.  As always, a character can exceed the Maxima of a particular Characteristic at double cost.

Characteristics gained in skill packages count as powers, and thus are not affected by Characteristic Maxima.

The exact Maxima that apply to the character depend upon the character's race, as shown below:

Characteristic Dwarves Halflings Half-Orcs Humans Orcs
STR 23 15 23 20 23
DEX 18 23 18 20 15
