	There are 6 Attributes that characters can possess: '''Strength''', '''Endurance''', '''Agility''', '''Perception''', '''Intellect''', and '''Charisma'''. These stats can contribute to the three Core values '''Body''', '''Reflex''', and '''Mind'''. These in turn will increase other stats such as Health-Points (HP), Meta-Points (MP), Deflection and Evasion.

	'''Attribute Tiers''' affect how a character can apply their Attribute bonuses to checks and abilities. By default characters start at '''Tier 1''', then may attain higher tiers depending on their abilities and power in comparison to their reality. Characters can add their Attribute bonus normally, or 'Exert'. The Exerted version grants a greater benefit to checks and Metaphors than the default, but often requires paying a cost in Metapoints, stacks of Exertion (status) or otherwise.

Characters can add their Attribute bonus normally, or 'Exert'. The Exerted version grants a greater benefit to checks and Metaphors than the default, but often requires paying a cost in Metapoints, stacks of Exertion (status) or otherwise.

	Each tier also has a '''Bonus''', which is added to the character's Attribute and the Core Value it represents. For instance, Tier 2 in Strength will give a +1 bonus to Strength the Attribute, and +1 to Body as Strength represents it. This essentially becomes a +2 bonus to Body because of Strength granting a Core value point by itself.

	Most characters will generally have Attributes in tiers 1 to 3, gained from Nature and Nurture sources (Racial adjustments, Class/Role training...etc), some characters may reach the pinnacle of tier 4 if certain powers and abilities call for it. Once a character reaches tier 5 and 6 they becomes extremely powerful in their respective attributes and care should be taken to ensure their power doe not negatively impact your games. Consider using or creating [[Metaphor]]s to simulate powerful abilities rather than using high Attribute tiers.

	Attribute tiers ~~have Proficiency just like Metaphors~~. ~~This can be used to modify the outcomes~~ of checks ~~made with the Attribute, as well as specify resst grant~~ the character and ~~appropriate Metaphors~~ their Attribute ~~die when~~ they ~~are Proficient~~, the ~~ability to add their Level~~ to their ~~checks at Expert, then roll multiple~~ Attribute ~~dice at Master~~. ~~Exerting usually grants benefits that later Tiers provide~~, ~~only for singular checks or until~~ the ~~character's next turn~~. The ~~higher the character~~'s ~~tier~~, the ~~later~~ the ~~Metaphor softcap applies for Metaphors linked to~~ the ~~appropriate Attribute~~.		Attribute tiers are sorted into '''Power Levels'''. The difficulty of checks or the payout of their outcomes can be greatly affected depending on which Level they fit into. If a character performs an activity and their Attribute Power level is high enough, they could either have an easier check to pass, get a much better outcome on success, or may simply pass the check automatically due to the skill difference. This can occur even when a character Exerts and the exert effect treats their Attribute as being a Power level higher.

			"''The door into the apartment was stuck, like something was blocking the way. The Detective's Strength was Average, he would need to pass a moderately difficult strength check to pass. However his new partner, built like a brickhouse, is Adept at Strength and only needed to pass an easy Strength check to move the door all the way open. If someone of Super Strength were present, they could simply push the door open without needing a check at all."''

	'''Attribute Tiers''' affect how a character can apply their Attribute bonuses to checks and abilities. By default characters start at '''Tier 1''', then may attain higher tiers depending on ~~their abilities and power in comparison to their reality~~. Characters ~~can add their Attribute bonus normally~~, or 'Exert'. ~~The Exerted version grants a greater benefit~~ to checks and Metaphors ~~than~~ the ~~default~~, ~~but often requires paying a cost in Metapoints~~, ~~stacks of Exertion (status)~~ or ~~otherwise~~.		'''Attribute Tiers''' affect how a character can apply their Attribute bonuses to checks and abilities. By default characters start at '''Tier 1''', then may attain higher tiers depending on how your Game-master prefers you upgrade your Attribute tiers. Characters always receive the benefits of the features found in the 'Normal' column, whereas they gain additional benefits whenever they 'Exert', this exertion can be triggered at will or whenever a character is using a power or ability that requires they Exert.

			Attribute tiers have Proficiency just like Metaphors. This can be used to modify the outcomes of checks made with the Attribute, as well as specify resst grant the character and appropriate Metaphors their Attribute die when they are Proficient, the ability to add their Level to their checks at Expert, then roll multiple Attribute dice at Master. Exerting usually grants benefits that later Tiers provide, only for singular checks or until the character's next turn. The higher the character's tier, the later the Metaphor softcap applies for Metaphors linked to the appropriate Attribute.
