Bureau 13

The game uses the role-playing game system common to other Tri Tac releases such as Fringeworthy and FTL:2448:

• Characters are defined by eight basic characteristics (Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence, Wisdom, Luck, Charisma), which are generated by rolling four 6-sided dice.[1]
• The player uses a point-buy system to generate skills. Skills are then multiplied by 5.[1]
• To resolve a skill check, the player use percentile dice and must roll a score equal to or less than the skill being tested.[1]
