1. Attributes

Attributes represent the physical and mental make up of your character.

Everything is based on a 1-10 scale in this game. So, they can range from 1-10. No higher , no less.(At the beginning)

The average Joe attribute being 5.

The human body is a complex set of different systems that work in combination to create what we understand as reality. But we can simplify this for gameplay by making a very broad generalization as to which attribute would be the dominant one at that moment.

For Roadkill, we broke it down to 5 primary Attributes. They are the first item needed for creating a character. 30 points divided between them as you see fit. To test your own Strength, or Agilty, Intellegence, even your Vitality or Will Power, we do this in game with a simple D10 roll. If you roll equal to or over the Target number (From 1-20, based on how difficult the challenge is for Average Joe) you succeed.

Each attribute if over (or under) average may add (or subtract) a modifier to the roll to reflect your enhanced abilty, conversely a low attribute may hinder you during a test of an attribute.

[ ie. If ren is trying to kick in a Badly (DC7) stuck door, he needs to beat a 7 target number on a D10. Luckily with an 8 Strength, Ren is granted a +1 to his roll. If he now rolls a 6 or better he'll get that door open!

Value	1-2	3-4	5-6	7-8	9-10
Bonus	-2	-1	N/A	+1	+2

Strength

Your physical ability to move your surroundings. Pushing, Pulling..Ex. Strength modifiers are applied to tests of strength, like trying to pull oneself up, kicking a stuck door loose, or even to add to damage done on a successful hit, they also apply to adjusting distance when throwing an item. It takes strength to wield a weapon with any proficiency. And your character can only carry 10lbs for each strength point he has before being overencumbered, every 10lbs beyond this number reduces his working strength by 1.

Agility

Your reflexes. Your Hand & Eye coordination. Modifiers are applied to Attack rolls, Dodge rolls, Thrown Weapons, catching, tumbling, and regaining balance. Some armor can affect one's agilty while wearing etc.

Intellegence

This attribute determines your smarts. How well you percieve the world and how quick you react. Your intellegence serves as your awareness and adjusts your initiative. and helps when learning new things. How much you've gleened from your past is dependant on your Intellegence.

Vitality 

This attribute represents your life force. How well you take a beating, and how long you can sustain the beating untill you take a dirtnap. Once your Vitality reaches 0 you are now Dying. Health checks may be made for things like radiation, poison, disease, system shock..etc.

Will Power

Your WP is your sanity, it determines your breaking point. Some huge guy with a shotgun in your nose, a wiry guy at the bar talkin bout yer mom, having your friend test his new Hurtz 10,000v taster on you, or just hard-times reduce WP. Once it hits 0, you usually fall unconcious. Some lucky few cry, run, or even snap into Beserker Rage(shnikity shnackity Snarl!)

Remeber ALL weapons have minimum attribute scores needed to be wielded, the bigger or more complex the weapon the more needed to use it.

2. Skills

During play there will come the time to see if your skill can accomplish what you are trying to do. The GM chooses a Target number (aka the T#), you roll a d10 adding any bonuses from the Skill you are using, and the Attribute Modifier most appropriate for the situation, and if you beat the T# you succeed. If the story calls for another attribute then what is listed in the sample use what is most appropriate at that moment. (ex. Average Joe tries climbing an Average[T#5] tree, he rolls a 6 (add +1 for everytime he purchased the Climbing skill.)= Success! If he rolled a 4 = Looks like he is finding another way up.

The harder the skill, the more difficult the T#. (ie. computer programming vs rock climbing) The scale of Difficulty should be modified to include the understanding that more difficult skills to learn have harder T# not higher cost.

Difficulty Examples
Difficulty (#)	Example (Skill Used)
Very easy (0)	Notice something large in plain sight (Awareness)
Easy (3)	Climb a knotted rope (Climb)
Average (6)	Hear an approaching guard (Awareness)
Tough (9)	Rig a wagon wheel to fall off (Jerryrig)
Difficult (12)	Swim in stormy water (Swim)
Tremendous (15)	Open an electrical lock (Lock Picking)
Heroic (18)	Leap across a 30-foot chasm (Jump)
Ludicrous (20+)	Track a man across hard ground after 24 hours of rainfall (People Tracking)

The skills you begin the game knowing well is determined by your Int. During character creation you have 100XP for each Intellegence point. This represents how much you've learned as you grew to the age you are now. Each skill costs 100xp to learn how to do it better, and better. When you purchase a skill with XP you gain a +1 when you roll to use it. Everytime you "buy" a skill you get another +1 bonus to use it.
