Infinite Domains

To create a character, the player first randomly determines eight basic attributes — Affinity, Control, Dexterity, Intellect, Speed, Strength, Vitality, and Luck. These then determine nine secondary attributes such as Endurance and Movement. The player then chooses a career from three choices — Warrior, Professional, or Magus — which determines the skills that are available. The player is given a pool of points with which to purchase these skills. Random determinations from a Height & Weight table, and a Family Background Table complete the character.[2]

During combat, time is divided into six-second rounds. Each character has a number of Action Points equal to one-third of its Speed. Each desired action — fighting, moving, picking a lock, looking for an item — requires a certain number of Action Points. To determine what the character can do in one round, the player "buys" actions with the character's available Action Points. The character can do as many things as the player desires until it runs out of Action Points.[2]

To see if a challenging task can be completed successfully, the player must roll percentile dice equal to or less than the relevant skill value that the character possesses. [2]

The player determines what sort of attack the character is attempting, rolls percentile dice, and then consults a table to see how much if any damage has been dealt. [2]
