General abilities glossary

Under development

CP's for points
CP's for either weapon or non-weapon profiencies. For those without Skills and Powers, ignore, as the idea of CPs won't make a lot of sense.
Followers
Allows followers when a stronghold is built. Delay in level if you wish to follow the Player's Handbook style of followers not being available until 9th level. Without delaying it, this does mean that followers are available to the character at first level, if they have a stronghold. Thus high noble characters may start out with followers, which is appropriate. The DM may decide not to allow this, of course.
Group Crossover
May purchase proficiencies from other profiency groups for the normal cost, rather then the increased cost as per Player's Handbook. 2 slots in a group gives this ability automatically.
Extra xp required
Gives the character an experience penalty of 1% per point. Use this if you can't afford to make the character on the set amount of points (normally 150). Note that there is a cap of 100% extra experience required.
Limited magic items
Use these values, or make up your own, if you feel these values do not suit the rarity of magic items in the campaign. They often won't (but we had to put in something).
Psionicists weapons
Allows the use of psionists weapons. If a desired weapon is outside the allowed group, proficiency with it can never be attained.
Mage weapons
Allows the use of mage weapons, as per Player's Handbook (staff, dart, etc). If a desired weapon is outside the allowed group, proficiency with it can never be attained.
Restricted priest weapons
Allows the use of a sub-set priest weapons, for example, no missile weapons. If a desired weapon is outside the allowed group, proficiency with it can never be attained.
Single weapon
The character may only be proficient in one weapon, of any kind. If a desired weapon is outside the allowed group, proficiency with it can never be attained.
No Weapons
The character is not allowed to become proficient in weapons.
Not allowed to injure
The character may not injure another with a weapon at all. This is appropriate for certain eastern mages or mystics.
Cannot harm living
Pacificist characters should take this. They are not allowed to harm the living, even with magic. Undead or unliving objects are fine.
Hit dice
Should be obvious. The character gains this many hitpoints from levels 1 to 9, after which they gain the number of hit points in brackets. Higher levels of hit points are in the warrior group, and are thus more expensive for non-warriors.
AR improvement
For a definition of AR and DV, see here. The characters AR advances at this rate, begininng from second level. (Thus 1 per 3 improves their AR at 4th level). Beware would-be mages! Remember touch delivered spells before you choose no AR advancement at all!
Armour
This will change to become neater. No glossary for the moment.
Ability score bonus
bonus of one to the sub-ability (see Skills and Powers). Two other options are presented for costing, one making the cost related to the present score (higher ones cost more). The other is to raise an entire ability score, rather than a sub-ability. Neither is "official" currently.
