Monster Guide

Trait Points

To build a monster use the following chart and the monster template to construct a Rank appropriate creature by spending Trait Points on various monster characteristics. Different templates will have bonuses and different numbers of Trait Points to spend at each rank. Trait Points may be spent across available traits with no trait exceeding the maximum for that trait. Core Traits must have at least 1 point minimum, and may not exceed the maximum defined by the template.

Attribute	1 Trait Point	Trait Limits	Minimum	Starts At
Health	+1 Health	Core Trait Maximum	1	0
Vigor	+2 Vigor	Rank Maximum	0	0
Physical Defense	+1 Dodge OR +1 Armor.	Rank x 2 Maximum	0	0

Speed	+2 Speed	No Maximum	0	0

Templates

Outsider Template

Outsiders are assigned stats using the Outsider Hierarchy chart as a basis. Outsiders additionally gain a power slot for each Rank. A higher Rank slot can take a lower rank power, sometimes with increased effect. An Outsider may also take a power slot as Improved Stats which grants 2 x that Rank in bonus points and increases the Core Trait Maximum by that Rank. Outsiders have a base Magic Resistance of 7. An outsider's Base Speed and additional inherent bonuses may vary depending on the type of the Outsider. More information is available on each type's individual overview page (e.g. Angels, Abominations, Arcadians, Demons, Mechanica, Stygian Outsiders, Wildings), but the following table is applicable to all Outsiders.
