Advancement
Points
Advancement points
(AP) are used to advance character skills, mutation skills, and
attributes. Characters earn 2 AP for every 1/10th of a level they
achieve (as well as through other means) and these AP may be spent
in any manner the player wishes. Each skill and mutation skill has
two attributes that limit how high that particular skill can be
raised and the attributes must be raised for the skill to reach the
maximum available at that level. One AP will raise a skill by 1
point, 5 AP will raise an attribute by 1 point. Most characters can
have 3-5 attributes and 3-5 skills at the maximum level for most of
the game if they so choose.
Attributes
These are the basic abilities of a character. They all begin at
level 11 and increase 1 point per level, in addition to points
gained through APs. APs can raise attributes up to 50% higher than
its base value for a given level. The attributes used in Fallen
