ATTRIBUTES
Discussion: Characters in Avatar have nine Attributes that represent their innate talents and capabilities. Every action a character takes begins with an Attribute. Lifting a heavy object requires Strength, puzzling out the provenance of a rare relic requires Intelligence, inspiring other Avatars to great deeds requires Charisma, and so forth.
Attributes for ordinary mortals are rated from one to five dots. A rating of 2 is considered average, while a rating of 5 represents the pinnacle of human capability. Powerful animals or monsters might possess Attribute ratings greater than 5, and Avatars have access to Epic Attributes that enhance their capabilities to supernatural degrees. An Avatar cannot have an Attribute rated higher than 5 until he achieves a Divinity 6. From that point on, no Attribute can rise higher than his Divinity rating.
