You can pick 0-3 Strengths, but you have to balance them out with Weaknesses. There's a list of Strengths, and a list of Weaknesses. Armor type involves tradeoffs as well the heavier it is, the more health it gives you, but heavier armor also increases energy costs and lowers your deflection chance.ДЇinally, you select Character Traits. But, at the same time, you can only have two weapons load-outs selected at a time, and you can't change your equipment in the middle of a fight if you've equipped Mors with Sword and Shield and Mace and Shield as your two weapon load-outs, and then get in a fight with a bunch of guys wearing medium armor, you'll have to make do. If you over-specialize, you reduce your ability to take advantage of this rock-paper-scissors mechanic. Cutting weapons do extra damage to light armor, perforating weapons do extra damage to medium armor, and blunt weapons do extra damage to heavy armor.

Since we're on the subject, there's good reason not to just pick one weapon and pour all your skill points into it each weapon type does significantly more damage to a certain type of armor. You then get 10 points to divvy up among your skills. Your starting value for each skill is determined by adding two of your attributes together for example, your Swords skill is the total of your Strength and Agility. Higher skill with a weapon improves your damage and hit chance higher skill with an armor type improves the health bonus you get from wearing that armor. For example, the Landed Knight favors Swords from the Cutting Weapons, Maces from the Blunt Weapons, Short Blades from the Perforating Weapons, and Heavy Armor.

Each category includes three skills, and each class favors one skill from each category the favored skills increase by 2 points for every point you sink into them, while the others increase at a 1:1 rate. Skills are entirely combat based the categories are Cutting Weapons, Blunt Weapons, Perforating Weapons, and Armor. For example, the Landed Knight has the Defense stance, which has a number of passive abilities that improve your hardiness, and some active abilities that include various attacks, a taunt to generate aggro, a temporary defense boost, etc. Each class has a unique Stance: a tree of abilities, some passive and some active the active ones cost energy to use and will only function if you're currently wielding the right weapon type. Higher Strength increases the damage you deal and reduces the damage you take higher Agility increases your attack speed, hit chance, and deflection chance (deflection being a chance to reduce damage or dodge a hit entirely) higher Luck improves your loot, dodge chance, and crit chance higher Endurance improves your hit points, health recovery rate, and reduces the energy cost of abilities (energy behaving more or less like a mana bar) higher Intelligence improves your chance of bargaining down merchant prices, your energy recovery rate, and the rate at which you gain skill points.ДЄfter attributes, you allocate your stance points. Each attribute starts at 5 and can be raised as high as 10 you can also lower attributes, all the way down to 1 if you want, to get more points. Alester can be: a Water Dancer, a light weapon, swashbuckling fighter a Sellsword, a light weapon, medium armor fighter that's mostly about fighting dirty or an Archer, which is pretty much what it sounds like.ДЄfter you select a class, you get five points to divide between five attributes: Strength, Agility, Luck, Endurance and Intelligence. Mors can be: a Landed Knight, a sword-and-board, defensive fighter a Hedge Knight, a fighter using two-handed weapons and heavy armor or a Magnar, a pure offense, two-weapon/medium armor fighter. Mors is a long-time ranger in the Night's Watch who is accompanied by his loyal dog Alester is returning to Westeros after years spent in Essos, during which he converted to the worship of R'hllor and became a Red Priest.Д®ach character can belong to one of three classes.
