Editing Simple D6 - Third Edition (section)

==Character Creation==

To make a character, find a concept (a profession for instance) and a name you like. You start with 1 Quality, 5 Skills, and 5 Hit Points in each Aspect. All your Aspects have 1 in Defense at start. You may give up 1 Skill to get either +2 Hit Points in a single Aspect or +1 Defense in a single Aspect per Skill you gave up.

'''Aspects''' are different areas of interaction and relevant Aspects will change from game to game. Common Aspects are Combat, Social, Magic or Sanity for instance. There is theoretically an infinite number of aspects so make sure to ask your Game Master which Aspects will be used before the game.

'''Skills''' are free-form and entirely made up by the player. Skills may be as broad to cover a field of expertise but should never be usable outside a specific area. Skills like "Close Combat" is as broad as it should get but you can build on top of this with increasingly specific skills like Sword Fighting followed by Fencing if you wish. 

'''Qualities''' are very broad skills, jobs or stereotypes like Charismatic, Strong, Soldier, Diplomat, Ranger or Smart for instance. You can only have a single Quality.
