They are meant to tweak situations to increase the odds of survival and success. However, they come with a risk. Each time a Bullet is spent, it will pass to the Game Master to be potentially spent against the players. text/html 2020-02-18T11:17:35-0500 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.skiesofglass.com/doku.php?id=character_creation&rev=1582046255&do=diff Character Creation Characters in Skies of Glass are defined by a variety of values.

Body or Agility can be used as the attribute rolled as appropriate for the method of combat being used. The character who rolls highest is successful and hits the opposing character.

This helps ensure that the campaign is setting itself up for success and avoiding common pitfalls that lead to failed games.

Traits are similar to the skill systems in many other roleplaying games, but instead of picking from a set list, they're left open to your ideas; you can define your character's strengths and weaknesses in your own terms. text/html 2020-02-16T17:02:01-0500 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.skiesofglass.com/doku.php?id=wounds&rev=1581894121&do=diff Wounds Wounds are applied to body locations. Each wound received has a level and subsequent wounds to that location to not increase this level but instead apply additional wounds to that location. For example if a character is shot in the right arm and gets a level 3 wound in the first round and is shot in that same arm for a level 3 wound in the second round of combat they now have two level 3 wounds and not a level 6 wound. They would suffer the combined attribute penalty for both wounds.
